ncmock

Creates a NetCDF file from command-line arguments. Variables can be any type and filled with data in 5 ways, either a constant, a checker pattern, randoms, linear range, or a sombrero ripple function, all of which can be animated too if they use a record dimension. Global and variable attributes can also be created. Esoteric controls exist for choosing alignment, blocksize, file flavor (classic or HDF5), prefill, initial size, and header pad. ncmock has throughput and peak memory calipers, so it can also be used as a benchmark tool
