Referenced by main().

Search a file for the next GRIB1 or GRIB2 message. A grib message is identified by its indicator section, i.e. an 8-byte sequence with 'GRIB' in bytes 1-4 and a '1' or '2' in byte 8. If found, the length of the message is decoded from bytes 5-7. The search is done over a given section of the file. The search is terminated if an eof or i/o error is encountered.

Parameters

g2cid ID of the opened grib file, returned by g2c_open().
skip_bytes Number of bytes to skip before search.
max_bytes Maximum number of bytes to search.
bytes_to_msg Pointer that gets the number of bytes to skip before message.
bytes_in_msg Pointer that gets the number of bytes in message (or 0 if no message found)

Returns

  • G2C_NOERROR No error.
  • G2C_EBADID g2cid not found.
  • G2C_EFILE File error.
  • G2C_EINVAL Invalid input.

Search a file for the next GRIB1 or GRIB2 message, and read it, allocating space in memory to hold the message. A grib message is identified by its indicator section, i.e. an 8-byte sequence with 'GRIB' in bytes 1-4 and a '1' or '2' in byte 8. If found, the length of the message is decoded from bytes 5-7. The search is done over a given section of the file. The search is terminated if an EOF or I/O error is encountered.

Parameters

g2cid ID of the opened grib file, returned by g2c_open().
skip_bytes The number of bytes to skip before search.
max_bytes The maximum number of bytes to search. Must be at least 16.
bytes_to_msg A pointer that gets the number of bytes to skip before message.
bytes_in_msg A pointer that gets the number of bytes in message (or 0 if no message found)
cbuf A pointer that gets allocation of memory, into which the message is copied. This memory must be freed by the caller.

Returns

  • G2C_NOERROR No error.
  • G2C_EBADID g2cid not found.
  • G2C_EFILE File error.
  • G2C_EINVAL Invalid input.
  • G2C_ENOMEM Out of memory.

Open an existing GRIB2 file. This function opens the GRIB2 file and reads its metadata.

GRIB2 messages in the file are assigned a message ID, starting with 0 for the first message in the file.

Each product within a message is assigned a product ID, starting with 0 for the first product in the message.

Files opened with this function should be closed with a call g2c_close() to release resources.
