//h
//h NDAR is a utility for accessing data from CDIP's netcdf data files. It
//h serves station data in traditional CDIP formats, as well handling newer
//h formats and wavecdf datasets from any source. Output options are explained 
//h below. NOTE: Currently only-single point datasets are served by ndar, not 
//h multi-point or grid datasets.
//h
//h Cmd-line args:  1 - the 3- or 5-digit station/stream id or the 
//h                       netcdf file name, with path under .WNC/WNC_DATA
//h                 2 - the output format: mp, st, gp, etc; see below.
//h                 3 - the start-end datestrings (YYYYMMDDHHMM, or portion 
//h                       thereof) or integer days before present (e.g. 3-0).
//h                      End date presumed to be now if not included.
//h                      Single record (within 24hrs) closest to start time
//h                       given if string prefix is 'c' (e.g. c201508231245)
//h                 4 - 'h' to include a header with the output, or 'n'
//h                     to include non-qc'ed data 
//h
//h Output formats: mp - bulk parameters from spectral processing
//h                 pm - 'classic' pm format, wave data only
//h                 st - full spectra
//h                 sm - spectral moments (FEMA project request)
//h                 up, ut, um - unshoaled versions of above (FEMA project 
//h                        request; available only with OWI spectral layouts)
//h                 ss, ss## - sea/swell output, ## threshold in secs
//h                 fp, ft, fs - forecast (WW3-driven) predictions of above
//h                 9e - 9-band energy
//h                 9d - 9-band direction
//h                 9c - 9-band combined energy and direction
//h                 dt - legacy databank SST, 0.1 deg formatting
//h                 te - SST, 0.01 deg formatting
//h                 at - CAT4 air temperature
//h                 cf - check factor summary
//h                 gp - GPS positions
//h                 ac - acoustic current meter
//h                 xy - displacement data, xy file format 
//h                 xz - displacement data, Mk3/Mk4 format
//h                 we - wave power format (Hmo, Te)
//h                 ux - upcross format (Hmax, H1/10, H1/3)
//h                 hx - zcross hmax format (ZCROSS input)
//h                 zx - zcross wave-by-wave format (ZCROSS input)
//h                 qp - spread format (peak spread, Qp)
