Detailed Description

NetCDF-C exposes ten User-Defined Format (UDF) slots (UDF0–UDF9). Each NEP format handler occupies a permanently assigned slot so that multiple handlers can be enabled simultaneously without conflict. Slot assignments are stable across NEP releases.

Slot	Macro	Format	Magic
UDF0	NEP_UDF_GEOTIFF_BIGTIFF	GeoTIFF BigTIFF	`II+`
UDF1	NEP_UDF_GEOTIFF_STANDARD	GeoTIFF standard TIFF	`II*`
UDF2	NEP_UDF_GRIB2	GRIB2 meteorological	`GRIB`
UDF3	NEP_UDF_FITS	FITS astronomical	`SIMPLE`
UDF4	NEP_UDF_CDF	NASA CDF space physics	`0xCDF30001`
UDF5	NEP_UDF_PDS4	NASA/ESA PDS4 planetary	`<?xml`
UDF6	NEP_UDF_DICOM	DICOM medical imaging	`DICM`
UDF7	NEP_UDF_PDB	Legacy PDB protein data	`HEADER`
UDF8	NEP_UDF_MMCIF	PDBx/mmCIF protein data	`data_`
UDF9	NEP_UDF_NEXTCDF4	NEXTCDF-4 HDF5 backend	explicit

Call NC_GEOTIFF_initialize(), NC_GRIB2_initialize(), NC_FITS_initialize(), NC_CDF_initialize(), NC_PDS4_initialize(), NC_DICOM_initialize(), NC_PDB_initialize(), or NC_MMCIF_initialize() to register the corresponding handler before calling nc_open(). With .ncrc autoload (NetCDF-C main branch) no explicit call is needed.
