nc_redef: Puts a netCDF file back into define mode

Description

Puts a netCDF that is not currently in define mode back into define mode.

nc

An object of class ncdf4 (as returned by either function nc_open(..., write=TRUE) or function nc_create, indicating what file to operate on.

Details

Typically, users will never need this function.

NetCDF files can be in "define mode", at which time dimensions and variables can be defined, or new attributes added to a file, or in "data mode", at which time data can be read from the file. This call puts a file that is currently in data mode back into define mode. This functionality is handled transparently by the ncdf4 library, so users will never need to call this unless they are doing advanced manipulations of netcdf files.
