# Setting the data information
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------#

# The TypeMatch parameter is a list of handler/module names and a regular
# expression separated by a colon. If the regular expression matches an item,
# then the BES uses the associated handler/module. Each <handler>:<regular
# expression> pair is followed by a semicolon. This is used when creating
# containers in the BES (the 'set container' command). The example regular
# expression says to use the 'h4' handler for any file with an extension of
# 'hdf', 'HDF' or 'eos' which may also end in '.gz' or '.bz2'. In the latter
# case the file will be treated as a compressed file.

# BES.Catalog.catalog.TypeMatch=nc:.*\.(nc|NC)(\.gz|\.bz2|\.Z)?$;h4.*\.(hdf|HDF|eos)(\.gz|\.bz2|\.Z)?$;

# To test your TypeMatch regular expression you can use besregtest as
# follows:

# % besregtest type # "nc:.*\.nc$;nc:.*\.nc\.gz$;" fnoc1.nc
# expression ".*\.(nc|NC)(\.gz|\.bz2|\.Z)?$" matches exactly, type = nc

BES.Catalog.catalog.TypeMatch+=nc:.*\.nc(\.bz2|\.gz|\.Z)?$;

# NetCDF handler specific parameters
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
# ShowSharedDimensions: Include shared dimensions as separate variables.
#   (true,yes|false,no, defaults to true for DAP 3.2 clients and earlier, 
#    false for DAP 3.3 and later)
#
# When set tot true, the DAP2 Grid type will no longer have 'coordinate 
# variables' added outside its scope. Not doing this makes logical sense, 
# but adding those CVs makes it easier for clients like Ferret, GrADS, etc.
#
NC.ShowSharedDimensions=true

# In previous versions of this handler, we used the unsigned DAP2 type
# Byte for signed bytes in netcdf. This can be confusing for client programs
# and people. This option, when set (true), makes the handler use a signed
# 16-bit inerger for Bytes (so that the sign is not lost). To get the old
# behavior, change true to false or comment out the line.

NC.PromoteByteToShort=true
