#'Divide data by a constant.
#'
#'This function divides each element of a dataset by a given constant number.
#'
#'@aliases divc
#'
#'@param var Name of NetCDF variable (character).
#'@param const Constant number (numeric).
#'@param infile Filename of input NetCDF file. This may include the directory
#'  (character).
#'@param outfile Filename of output NetCDF file. This may include the directory
#'  (character).
#'@param nc34 NetCDF version of output file. If \code{nc34 = 3} the output file will be
#'  in NetCDFv3 format (numeric). Default output is NetCDFv4.
#'@param overwrite logical; should existing output file be overwritten?
#'@param verbose logical; if TRUE, progress messages are shown
#'@param nc Alternatively to \code{infile} you can specify the input as an
#'  object of class `ncdf4` (as returned from \code{ncdf4::nc_open}).
#'
#'@return A NetCDF file including the manipulated data fields of infile is
#'  written. Standard output precision is 'double'.
