GRIB-API is entirely included in ecCodes without any change to its Fortran 90, Python, C interfaces. We have only suppressed the The only function which has been removed is grib_handle_new_from_template which template which was already deprecated in GRIB-API and replaced by the gribthe grib_handle_new_from_samples.
Some of the GRIB-API command line tools are not included in ecCodes because they have been superseded by other tools or they were experimental and are not needed any more. In the following table the GRIB-API tools suppressed in ecCodes deprecated tools are listed:
Tool name | Comments |
---|---|
grib_cmp | Superseded by grib_compare |
grib_debug | Superseded by "grib_dump -D" |
grib_convert | Superseded by grib_filter |
grib_distance | Experimental |
grib_error | Experimental |
grib_keys | Experimental |
grib_add | Adds the values of two GRIBs. Does not respect missing values! |
grib_corruption_check | Only checks keys "min", "max" and "binaryScaleFactor" for params 246 and 247!! |
points | experimental |
grib_packing | experimental |
grib_moments | experimental |
big2gribex | Experimental |
grib_list_keys | Experimental |
grib_repair | Experimental |
grib_to_json | Experimental |
gg_sub_area_check | Experimental |
The migration from GRIB-API to ecCodes will not affect the user software and will be managed in installation and linking phases. NeverthlessNevertheless, very significant changes in the library have been performed to implement the encoding of different types of messages and in particular for BUFR.
