netcdf.sync
Synchronize netCDF file to disk
Syntax
netcdf.sync(ncid)
Description
netcdf.sync(ncid)
synchronizes the state
of a netCDF file to disk. The netCDF library normally buffers accesses
to the underlying netCDF file, unless you specify the NC_SHARE
mode
when you opened the file with netcdf.open
or netcdf.create
.
To call netcdf.sync
, the netCDF file must be in
data mode.
This function corresponds to the nc_sync
function in the netCDF library C
API. To use this function, you should be familiar with the netCDF programming
paradigm.
Examples
This example creates a new netCDF file for write access, performs an operation on the file, takes the file out of define mode, and then synchronizes the file to disk.
% Create a netCDF file. ncid = netcdf.create('foo.nc','NC_WRITE'); % Perform an operation. dimid = netcdf.defDim(ncid,'Xdim',50); % Take file out of define mode. netcdf.endDef(ncid); % Synchronize the file to disk. netcdf.sync(ncid)
