This function prints information about a NetCDF dataset. This includes a list of all dimensions and their length, a list of all variables and their attributes (including their values) and a list of all global attributes (including their values).
The output of this function is almost identical with a "ncdump -h"
call. Because arrays in R have their leftmost subscript varying fastest, the fastest varying dimensions are printed first.

nc <- create.nc("print.nc")
dim.def.nc(nc, "station", 5)
dim.def.nc(nc, "time", unlim=TRUE)
## Create two variables, one as coordinate variable
var.def.nc(nc, "time", "NC_INT", "time")
var.def.nc(nc, "temperature", "NC_DOUBLE", c(0,1))
## Put some attributes
