Detailed Description

Functions for GRIB2 Product Definition Templates used in Section 4 - the Product Definition Section (PDS).

Each Template has three parts:

  1. The number of entries in the template (mappdslen).
  2. A map of the template (mappds), which contains the number of octets in which to pack each of the template values.
  3. A logical value (needext) that indicates whether the Template needs to be extended. In some cases the number of entries in a template can vary depending upon values specified in the "static" part of the template. (See Template 4.3 as an example).
Note
Array mappds contains the number of octets in which the corresponding template values will be stored. A negative value in mappds is used to indicate that the corresponding template entry can contain negative values. This information is used later when packing (or unpacking) the template data values. Negative data values in GRIB are stored with the left most bit set to one, and a negative number of octets value in mappds[] indicates that this possibility should be considered. The number of octets used to store the data value in this case would be the absolute value of the negative value in mappds.

Function Documentation

◆ extpdstemplate()

gtemplate* extpdstemplate ( g2int  number,
g2int list 
)

This subroutine generates the remaining octet map for a given Product Definition Template, if required.

Some Templates can vary depending on data values given in an earlier part of the Template, and it is necessary to know some of the earlier entry values to generate the full octet map of the Template.

This function allocates memory in the ext field of the gtemplate struct. This memory must be freed by the caller.

Parameters
numbernumber of the Product Definition Template 4.NN that is being requested.
listThe list of values for each entry in the the Product Definition Template.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer if template not found.

◆ g2c_get_pds_template()

int g2c_get_pds_template ( int  pds_template_num,
int *  maplen,
int *  map,
int *  needext 
)

Get PDS template information.

The PDS template consists of a template map, its length, and, for some templates, an extra extension map, and its length. If an extension is needed, use g2c_get_pds_template_extension() to get it.

Parameters
pds_template_numThe PDS template number.
maplenPointer that gets the length of the map. Ignored if NULL.
mapPointer that gets the map as an array of int. Memory must be allocated by caller. Ignored if NULL.
needextPointer that a non-zero value if an extension to this template is needed. Ignored if NULL.

◆ g2c_get_pds_template_extension()

int g2c_get_pds_template_extension ( int  pds_template_num,
int *  template,
int *  extlen,
int *  ext 
)

Get pds template extension information.

Parameters
pds_template_numThe pds template number.
templatePointer to array that contains the template values.
extlenPointer that gets the length of the extension. Ignored if NULL.
extPointer that gets template extension array, if there is one. Memory must be allocated by the caller. Ignored if NULL.

◆ getpdsindex()

static g2int getpdsindex ( g2int  number)
static

◆ getpdstemplate()

gtemplate* getpdstemplate ( g2int  number)

This subroutine returns PDS template information for a specified Product Definition Template.

The number of entries in the template is returned along with a map of the number of octets occupied by each entry. Also, a flag is returned to indicate whether the template would need to be extended.

This function allocates memory for the gtemplate struct, which must be freed by the caller.

Parameters
numberthe number of the Product Definition Template that is being requested.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer if template not found.
