Detailed Description

This namespace handles all the low level manipulation of GRIB and BUFR files with ecCodes.

Introduction

This namespace provides a set of functions to handle GRIB and BUFR files using the ecCodes C library by the ECMWF (https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/ecCodes+installation) at least in version 2.27.0. Either a file is indexed (contained in CodesIndexPtr) and messages (contained as CodesHandlePtr) are read from this index by using key/value pairs. Or all messages are read from a file directly, without any additional information. The index does not use much memory, the handles do??. Therefore, the handles should be deleted as soon as they are not needed anymore.
