; @file_comments
; Give informations on a file net cdf and allows to recuperate
; variables which are write in.
;
; @categories
; Reading
;
; @param NOM {in}{required}
; Name of a file net cdf situated in the directory stipulated by iodir.
;
; @keyword ATT
; 'global' or at the name of a variable. Allows to see all attributes
; joined at a variable
;
; @keyword DIM
; Give the list of dimensions.
;
; @keyword VAR
;       1) /var: Gove the list of dimensions.
;       2) var='nom de variable': in this case the function send back the variable.
;
; @keyword IODIR
; String containing the directory containing the file to be read
;
; @keyword _EXTRA
; Used to pass keywords defined by IDL to functions NETCDF (especially OFFSET
; and COUNT in <proidl>ncdf_varget</proidl>)
;
; @returns
; -1 (except if var='nom de variable', then the function send back the variable).
;
; @restrictions
; Variables's names of the program are similar to these used by the IDL manual
; 'scientific data formats'
