In order to support multiple filters per variable in netcdf-c I propose to break nc_inq_var_filter by changing the signature from:> int nc_inq_var_filter(int ncid, int varid, unsigned int* idp, size_t* nparams, unsigned int* params);
to:int nc_inq_var_filter(int ncid, int varid, unsigned int id, size_t* nparams, unsigned int* params);
Thus this function would require the user to specify the filter id of interest rather than return the presumed single filter id. A separate function -- nc_inq_var_filters -- will be defined to return all the filter ids that apply to a specified variable. Is this going to be a major problem for anyone? =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata
