<h2><a class="anchor" name="overview">
Overview</a></h2>
The grib_api is the application program interface developed at ECMWF to provide an easy and realiable way for encoding and decoding WMO FM-92 GRIB <a href="http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/Manual/WMO306_vol-I-2-PartB-GRIB1.pdf">edition 1</a> and <a href="http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/www/DPS/grib-2.html">edition 2</a> messages.<p>
With the grib_api library, that is written entirely in C, some command line <a class="el" href="tools.html">tools</a> are provided to give a quick way to manipulate grib data. Moreover a Fortran interface 90 is available giving access to the main features of the C library.<p>
The library is designed to access and modify messages in both editions with the same <a class="el" href="group__get__set.html">function calls</a> using a set of <a class="el" href="keys.html">Grib API keys</a> to access the coded information ( examples: <a class="el" href="get_8f90-example.html">get.f90</a> <a class="el" href="set_8f90-example.html">set.f90</a>, <a class="el" href="get_8c-example.html">get.c</a>, <a class="el" href="set_8c-example.html">set.c</a>, <a class="el" href="grib_get.html#grib_get_examples">grib_get</a>, <a class="el" href="grib_set.html#grib_set_examples">grib_set</a> ).<p>
The <a class="el" href="keys.html">keys</a> available for a message are different depending not only on the edition but also and mainly on the type of each message and the information it contains. A list of all the available keys in a message can be obtained dynamically using the library as shown in <a class="el" href="keys__iterator_8c-example.html">keys_iterator.c</a> or using the <a class="el" href="tools.html">Grib tools</a> as shown in <a class="el" href="grib_dump.html">grib_dump</a> or <a class="el" href="grib_keys.html#grib_keys_examples">grib_keys</a>.<p>
GRIB API will replace the GRIBEX function and a <a href="/publications/manuals/grib_api/gribexkeys/callGribex.html">table of conversion</a> between the numeric encoding of GRIBEX and the alphanumeric keys of GRIB API is provided to help the migration.<p>
To learn how to use the grib_api we recommend the user works through the <a class="el" href="grib_examples.html">Grib API examples</a>.<p>
Reference manuals are also provided for the C library (organized in <a class="el" href="modules.html">C interface</a>) and for the Fortran 90 interface.<p>
<a class="el" href="installation.html">Installation</a> instructions are also provided.<h2><a class="anchor" name="ecwf_users">
Compiling and linking on ECMWF platforms</a></h2>
The grib API is installed on all systems at ECMWF with both its components: the library and the tools.<br>
The latest version of the tools is always available in the system PATH so that users can begin using the tools immediately by typing directly the tool name (<a class="el" href="tools.html">see tools reference</a>).<br>
The latest version of the library is also installed on any platform and it is available for linking through the following two environment variables: $GRIB_API_INCLUDE $GRIB_API_LIB.<br>
<br>
Here is a short summary on how to compile and link on ECMWF systems:<br>
