add_nc: Save an item to a NetCDF or add one tag sensor or metadata...

In tagtools: Work with Data from High-Resolution Biologging Tags

Save an item to a NetCDF or add one tag sensor or metadata variable to a NetCDF archive file.

Description

Add one tag sensor or metadata variable to a NetCDF archive file. If the archive file does not exist, it is created. The file is assumed to be in the current working directory unless a pathname is added to the beginning of fname.

Usage

add_nc(file, D, vname)

Arguments

file	The name of the netCDF file to which to save. If the name does not include a .nc suffix, this will be added automatically.
D	The sensor data or metadata list to be saved.
vname	The name of the sensor data stream to be saved. Defaults to the entry "name" (or "full_name" if there is no "name") from the sensor or metadata list provided by the user (but an option to specify a name is provided to facilitate calling this function from save_nc).

Value

no object is returned; this function adds an animaltag sensor data structure to a animaltag-style netCDF file containing tag data.
