3.5.3 Output from the CDFstats Program

The format of the output from CDFstats is as follows:

For each variable (rVariables and zVariables),

   <number>.  <name>  <n-dims>:[<dim-sizes>]  <rec-vary>/<dim-varys>  (<data-type>/<n-elems>)

                 min: <min-value>
        min in range: <min-value-in-range>
           valid min: <valid-min>, <low-values> low value(s)

                 max: <max-value>
        max in range: <max-value-in-range>
           valid max: <valid-max>, <high-values> high value(s)

          fill value: <fill-value>, <fill-values> fill value(s)

           monotonic: <monotonicity>

If range checking and/or fill value filtering is disabled, the corresponding fields will not be displayed. The fields are defined as follows:

<number>
The variable number.
<name>
The variable name.
<rec-vary>
The record variance of the variable --- either a T or F.
<dim-varys>
The dimension variances of the variable --- for each dimension either a T or F. This field is not present if there are zero (0) dimensions.
<data-type>
The data type of the variable (e.g., CDF_REAL4).
<n-elems>
The number of elements of the variable's data type.
<n-dims>
The number of dimensions of a zVariable. This field is not present for an rVariable.
<dim-sizes>
The dimension sizes of a zVariable. This field is not present for an rVariable or if the zVariable has zero (0) dimensions.
<min-value>
The minimum value found (regardless of any range checking performed).
<min-value-in-range>
The minimum value found within the valid range.
<valid-min>
The minimum valid value ( VALIDMIN attribute entry value).
<low-values>
The number of values found that are less than the valid minimum.
<max-value>
The maximum value found (regardless of any range checking performed).
<max-value-in-range>
The maximum value found with the valid range.
<valid-max>
The maximum valid value ( VALIDMAX attribute entry value).
<high-values>
The number of values found that are greater than the valid maximum.
<fill-value>
The fill value ( FILLVAL attribute entry value).
<fill-values>
The number of fill values found.
<monotonicity>
The monotonicity of the variable.
