Hi Edwin,

Those are part of the Fortran interface, and are installed as part of the
netCDF library, usable from C or Fortran, when you build the library from
sources by following the instructions in the top-level INSTALL file.

The actual source for the Fortran interface routines is different on
different systems, since there is no standard for calling C functions from
Fortran.  An appropriate version gets generated from the source code in
netcdf/fortran/jackets.src as part of building the library.
