Metadata routines

assignFillValue Transfers the _FillValue attribute from one variable to another.
copy_VarAtts Copies all of a variable's attributes from one variable to another.
copy_VarCoords Copies all named dimensions and coordinate variables from one variable to another.
copy_VarCoords_1 Copies all named dimensions and coordinate variables from one variable to another except for the rightmost dimension.
copy_VarCoords_2 Copies all named dimensions and coordinate variables from one variable to another except for the rightmost two dimensions.
copy_VarMeta Copies all attributes, named dimensions and coordinate variables from one variable to another.
copyatt Copies all attributes, named dimensions and coordinate variables from one variable to another (deprecated version).
default_fillvalue Returns the default missing value for the given variable type.
