`netcdf_nif` - a simple Erlang NIF wrapper for the NetCDF C library
=====

https://hex.pm/packages/netcdf_nif

Requirements
-----

You need NetCDF (v4) and Erlang. The attached `default.nix` file
contains a [Nix](https://nixos.org/) definition to make your dev
experience simpler.

Build
-----

    $ rebar3 compile

Shell
-----

    $ rebar3 shell
    
Inside the shell you can run test code with:

    c(test).
    test:run().
    
This will create a `hello.nc` file. You can inspect it with

    $ ncdump hello.nc

Elixir
-----

There is also possibility to build an Elixir NIF. Just run

    $ mix compile
    
and the `priv/netcdf_nif_ex.so` file will be generated. The module's
name is `Elixir.NetcdfNif`.

You can run the sample inside Elixir repl (`iex -S mix`) as follows:

    c "test.exs"
    NetcdfNif.Test.run()
