utinit.nc {RNetCDF} | R Documentation

## Initialize the UDUNITS2 Library

### Description

Initialize the UDUNITS2 library.

### Usage

    utinit.nc(path="")

### Arguments

`path` | Path to an XML-formatted unit-database for UDUNITS2.

### Details

This function initializes the UDUNITS2 library. It is called by `.onLoad` when the package is loaded. Normally, the user does not need to call this function.

UDUNITS2 obtains a unit system by reading an XML file. The file name is given by argument `path`, if it is a non-empty character string. Otherwise, the file name is taken from environment variable `UDUNITS2_XML_PATH`, if it is a non-empty character string. By default, the file name is set to an XML file distributed with RNetCDF.
