NetCDF  4.4.1.1
DAP2 Reserved Keywords

In the OPeNDAP DAP2 protocol, there are a number of reserved keywords.

These keywords are case insensitive and if you use one as a netCDF variable name, you may encounter odd behavior such as case changes (depending on the client DDS/DAS parser). The list of reserved keywords as used by the netCDF-C library parser are as follows:

  • alias
  • array
  • attributes
  • byte
  • dataset
  • error
  • float32
  • float64
  • grid
  • int16
  • int32
  • maps
  • sequence
  • string
  • structure
  • uint16
  • uint32
  • url
  • code
  • message
  • program_type
  • program
