Hello, Thanks for reaching out; we're currently working on reorganizing the documentation, as it has grown into a bit of a mess. You can find API information for the C library at https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-c/current/modules.html, and you can also find the individual functions by either searching for the function name or browsing the file documentation, here: https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-c/current/files.html The Fortran interface documentation can be found here: https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-fortran/current/index.html My apologies, as I said we are aware of the current state and are actively working to clean things up. We appreciate your patience!
