Function Documentation

g2_create()

g2int g2_create	(	unsigned char *	cgrib,
		g2int *	listsec0,
		g2int *	listsec1
	)

This routine initializes a new GRIB2 message and packs GRIB2 Section 0 (Indicator Section) and Section 1 (Identification Section).

This routine is used with routines g2_addlocal(), g2_addgrid(), g2_addfield(), and g2_gribend() to create a complete GRIB2 message. g2_create() must be called first to initialize a new GRIB2 message. A call to g2_gribend() is required to complete GRIB2 message after all fields have been added.

Parameters

[in]	cgrib	Character array to contain the GRIB2 message. Must be allocated large enough to store the entire GRIB2 message.
[in]	listsec0	Contains information needed for GRIB Indicator Section 0. Must be dimensioned >= 2. listsec0[0] Discipline-GRIB Master Table Number (Code Table 0.0). listsec0[1] GRIB Edition Number (currently 2).
[in]	listsec1	Contains information needed for GRIB Identification Section 1. Must be dimensioned >= 13. listsec1[0] Id of orginating centre (Table 0). listsec1[1] Id of orginating sub-centre (Table C). listsec1[2] GRIB Master Tables Version Number (Table 1.0). listsec1[3] GRIB Local Tables Version Number (Table 1.1). listsec1[4] Significance of Reference Time (Table 1.2) listsec1[5] Reference Time - Year (4 digits) listsec1[6] Reference Time - Month listsec1[7] Reference Time - Day listsec1[8] Reference Time - Hour listsec1[9] Reference Time - Minute listsec1[10] Reference Time - Second listsec1[11] Production status of data (Table 1.3). listsec1[12] Type of processed data (Table 1.4).

Returns

• > 0 Current size of new GRIB2 message
• G2_CREATE_GRIB_VERSION Tried to use for version other than GRIB Edition 2

This routine is intended for use with routines g2_addlocal(), g2_addgrid(), g2_addfield(), and g2_gribend() to create a complete GRIB2 message.
