returned from netCDF file.
Usage
"summary"(object,...)
Arguments
object
The "handle" returned by the read.ncdf function from the
ncdf package.
...
Other arguments to pass to this function. Currently, no

Details
This function is out of place in fields but was included because often large
geophysical data sets are in netCDF format and the ncdf R package is also
needed. To date the summary capability in the ncdf package is limited and
this function is used to supplement it use. The function is also a a
useful device to see how the ncdf object is structured.
