      The array is specified by giving a corner and a vector of edge lengths. 
      The values are read into consecutive locations with the last dimension varying fastest.

      \param start
      Vector specifying the index in the variable where the first of the data values will be read. 
      The indices are relative to 0, so for example, the first data value of a variable would have index (0, 0, ... , 0). 
      The length of start must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. 
      The elements of start correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. Hence, if the variable is a record variable, 
      the first index would correspond to the starting record number for reading the data values.

      \param count
      Vector specifying the edge lengths along each dimension of the block of data values to be read.

      The subsampled array section is specified by giving a corner, a vector of edge lengths, and a stride vector. 
      The values are read with the last dimension of the netCDF variable varying fastest.

      \param start
      Vector specifying the index in the variable where the first of the data values will be read. 
      The indices are relative to 0, so for example, the first data value of a variable would have index (0, 0, ... , 0). 
      The length of start must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. 
      The elements of start correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. Hence, if the variable is a record variable, 
      the first index would correspond to the starting record number for reading the data values.

      \param count
      Vector specifying the edge lengths along each dimension of the block of data values to be read. 
      To read a single value, for example, specify count as (1, 1, ... , 1). The length of count is the number of 
      dimensions of the specified variable. The elements of count correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. 
      Hence, if the variable is a record variable, the first element of count corresponds to a count of the number of records to read.
      Note: setting any element of the count array to zero causes the function to exit without error, and without doing anything. 

      \param stride
      Vector specifying the interval between selected indices. The elements of the stride vector correspond, in order, 
      to the variable's dimensions. A value of 1 accesses adjacent values of the netCDF variable in the corresponding 
      dimension; a value of 2 accesses every other value of the netCDF variable in the corresponding dimension; and so 
      on. A NULL stride argument is treated as (1, 1, ... , 1). 

      \param dataValues Pointer to the location into which the data value is read. If the type of 
      data value differs from the netCDF variable type, type conversion will occur.

      Reads a mapped array section of values from a netCDF variable.
      The mapped array section is specified by giving a corner, a vector of edge lengths, a stride vector, and an 
      index mapping vector. The index mapping vector is a vector of integers that specifies the mapping between the 
      dimensions of a netCDF variable and the in-memory structure of the internal data array. No assumptions are 
      made about the ordering or length of the dimensions of the data array. 

      \param start
      Vector specifying the index in the variable where the first of the data values will be read. 
      The indices are relative to 0, so for example, the first data value of a variable would have index (0, 0, ... , 0). 
      The length of start must be the same as the number of dimensions of the specified variable. 
      The elements of start correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. Hence, if the variable is a record variable, 
      the first index would correspond to the starting record number for reading the data values.

      \param count
      Vector specifying the edge lengths along each dimension of the block of data values to be read. 
      To read a single value, for example, specify count as (1, 1, ... , 1). The length of count is the number of 
      dimensions of the specified variable. The elements of count correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. 
      Hence, if the variable is a record variable, the first element of count corresponds to a count of the number of records to read.
      Note: setting any element of the count array to zero causes the function to exit without error, and without doing anything. 

      \param stride
      Vector specifying the interval between selected indices. The elements of the stride vector correspond, in order, 
      to the variable's dimensions. A value of 1 accesses adjacent values of the netCDF variable in the corresponding 
      dimension; a value of 2 accesses every other value of the netCDF variable in the corresponding dimension; and so 
      on. A NULL stride argument is treated as (1, 1, ... , 1). 

      \param imap
      Vector of integers that specifies the mapping between the dimensions of a netCDF variable and the in-memory 
      structure of the internal data array. imap[0] gives the distance between elements of the internal array corresponding 
      to the most slowly varying dimension of the netCDF variable. imap[n-1] (where n is the rank of the netCDF variable) 
      gives the distance between elements of the internal array corresponding to the most rapidly varying dimension of the 
      netCDF variable. Intervening imap elements correspond to other dimensions of the netCDF variable in the obvious way. 
      Distances between elements are specified in type-independent units of elements (the distance between internal elements 
      that occupy adjacent memory locations is 1 and not the element's byte-length as in netCDF 2). 

      \param dataValues Pointer to the location into which the data value is read. If the type of 
      data value differs from the netCDF variable type, type conversion will occur.

    /*! 
      Writes a mapped array section of values into the netCDF variable.
      The mapped array section is specified by giving a corner, a vector of counts, a stride vector, and an index mapping vector. 
      The index mapping vector is a vector of integers that specifies the mapping between the dimensions of a netCDF variable and the in-memory structure of the internal data array. 
      No assumptions are made about the ordering or length of the dimensions of the data array. 

      \param countp  Vector specifying the number of indices selected along each dimension. 
      To write a single value, for example, specify count as (1, 1, ... , 1). The elements of 
      count correspond, in order, to the variable's dimensions. Hence, if the variable is a record 
      variable, the first element of count corresponds to a count of the number of records to write. Note: setting any element 
      of the count array to zero causes the function to exit without error, and without doing anything. 

      \param stridep  A vector of ptrdiff_t integers that specifies the sampling interval along each dimension of the netCDF variable. 
      The elements of the stride vector correspond, in order, to the netCDF variable's dimensions (stride[0] gives the sampling interval 
      along the most slowly varying dimension of the netCDF variable). Sampling intervals are specified in type-independent units of 
      elements (a value of 1 selects consecutive elements of the netCDF variable along the corresponding dimension, a value of 2 selects 
      every other element, etc.). A NULL stride argument is treated as (1, 1, ... , 1).

      \param imap Vector  specifies the mapping between the dimensions of a netCDF variable and the in-memory structure of the internal data array. 
      The elements of the index mapping vector correspond, in order, to the netCDF variable's dimensions (imap[0] gives the distance between elements 
      of the internal array corresponding to the most slowly varying dimension of the netCDF variable). Distances between elements are 
      specified in type-independent units of elements (the distance between internal elements that occupy adjacent memory locations is 
      1 and not the element's byte-length as in netCDF 2). A NULL argument means the memory-resident values have the same structure as 
      the associated netCDF variable.

      \param dataValues The data values. The order in which the data will be written to the netCDF variable is with the last 
      dimension of the specified variable varying fastest. If the type of data values differs from the netCDF variable type, type conversion will occur. 
     (However, no type conversion is carried out for variables using the user-defined data types:  nc_Vlen, nc_Opaque, nc_Compound and nc_Enum.)
