4. Getting file information

Running `` ./cis.py info $filename `` will print a list of the variables available in that input file such as:

Trop
latitude
longitude_1
surface
unspecified_1
level6
ht
msl
latitude_1

To get more specific information about a given variable, simply run:

$ ./cis.py info $filename --variable $var1 $var2 $var3

where $var1, $var2 and $var3 are the names of the variables to get the information for.

Here is an example:

<type 'netCDF4.Variable'>
float32 mass(t, unspecified_1, latitude, longitude_1)
    _FillValue: 2e+20
    date: 01/09/08
    long_name: TOTAL COLUMN DRY MASS  RHO GRID
    missing_value: 2e+20
    name: mass
    source: Unified Model Output (Vn 7.3):
    time: 00:00
    title: TOTAL COLUMN DRY MASS  RHO GRID
    units: kg m-2
unlimited dimensions: t
current shape = (1, 1, 145, 192)
