Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, the nccopy version is currently not available from the
binary.
However, if you invoke ncdump with no arguments from the directory that
nccopy is in, the ncdump version will be printed on the last line of the
resulting usage message, and that will correspond to the nccopy version.
There will be a fix for nccopy in the upcoming 4.3.3 release so that the
library version will be printed at the end of a usage message for nccopy,
as it already is for the ncdump and ncgen utilities.
If you don't have the associated ncdump utilities, you can still bracket
the versions of nccopy by what usage message gets printed when nccopy is
invoked with no arguments, because later versions supported more arguments.
Here's usage messages from various versions:
netCDF 4.1.1:
nccopy [-k n] [-m n] infile outfile
[-k n] kind of netCDF format for output file, default same as input
1 classic, 2 64-bit offset, 3 netCDF-4, 4 netCDF-4 classic model
[-m n] size in bytes of copy buffer
infile name of netCDF input file
outfile name for netCDF output file
netCDF 4.1.2, 4.1.3:
nccopy [-k n] [-d n] [-s] [-c chunkspec] [-u] [-m n] infile outfile
[-k n] specify kind of netCDF format for output file, default same as
input
1 classic, 2 64-bit offset, 3 netCDF-4, 4 netCDF-4 classic model
[-d n] set deflation compression level, default same as input (0=none
9=max)
[-s] add shuffle option to deflation compression
[-c chunkspec] specify chunking for dimensions, e.g. "dim1/N1,dim2/N2,..."
[-u] convert unlimited dimensions to fixed-size dimensions in output
copy
[-m n] set size in bytes of copy buffer, default is 5000000 bytes
infile name of netCDF input file
outfile name for netCDF output file
netCDF 4.2.0:
nccopy [-k n] [-d n] [-s] [-c chunkspec] [-u] [-m n] [-h n] [-e n] infile

[-e n] set number of elements that chunk_cache can hold
infile name of netCDF input file
outfile name for netCDF output file

input
1 classic, 2 64-bit offset, 3 netCDF-4, 4 netCDF-4 classic model

9=max)
[-s] add shuffle option to deflation compression
[-c chunkspec] specify chunking for dimensions, e.g. "dim1/N1,dim2/N2,..."
[-u] convert unlimited dimensions to fixed-size dimensions in output
copy
[-w] write whole output file from diskless netCDF on close
[-m n] set size in bytes of copy buffer, default is 5000000 bytes
[-h n] set size in bytes of chunk_cache for chunked variables

[-r] read whole input file into diskless file on open (classic or
64-bit offset format only)
