Hi Dave, > From the source code, it appears that ncgen has had the ability to read CDL > from standard in for some time. Can this be added to the documentation for > ncgen? The input_file should be shown as an optional command argument. OK, the web documentation shows the input_file is optional: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/html_guide/netcdf_utilities_guide.html#guide_ncgen I've added that to the man page documentation in the source as well, for the next release. Thanks for the suggestion. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: YNX-888474 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
