/*!
\ingroup attributes
Write a string attribute.

The function nc_put_att_string adds or changes a variable attribute or
global attribute of an open netCDF dataset. The string type is only
available in netCDF-4/HDF5 files, when ::NC_CLASSIC_MODEL has not been
used in nc_create().

\param ncid NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(),
nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as 
nc_inq_ncid().

\param varid Variable ID of the variable to which the attribute will
be assigned or ::NC_GLOBAL for a global or group attribute.

\param name Attribute \ref object_name. \ref attribute_conventions may
apply.

\param len Number of values provided for the attribute.

\param value Pointer to one or more values.

\returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
\returns ::NC_EINVAL Trying to set global _FillValue.
\returns ::NC_ENOTVAR Couldn't find varid.
\returns ::NC_EBADTYPE Fill value and var must be same type.
\returns ::NC_ENOMEM Out of memory
\returns ::NC_ELATEFILL Fill values must be written while the file
is still in initial define mode.

/*!
\ingroup attributes
Write a text attribute.

Add or change a text attribute. If this attribute is new,
or if the space required to store the attribute is greater than
before, the netCDF dataset must be in define mode.  

Although it's possible to create attributes of all types, text and
double attributes are adequate for most purposes.

Use the nc_put_att function to create attributes of any type,
including user-defined types. We recommend using the type safe
versions of this function whenever possible.

\param ncid NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(),
nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as 
nc_inq_ncid().

\param varid Variable ID of the variable to which the attribute will
be assigned or ::NC_GLOBAL for a global attribute.

\param name Attribute \ref object_name. \ref attribute_conventions may
apply.

\param len Number of values provided for the attribute.

\param value Pointer to one or more values.

\returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
\returns ::NC_EINVAL Trying to set global _FillValue. 
\returns ::NC_ENOTVAR Couldn't find varid.
\returns ::NC_EBADTYPE Fill value and var must be same type.
\returns ::NC_ENOMEM Out of memory
\returns ::NC_ELATEFILL Fill values must be written while the file
is still in initial define mode.

\note With netCDF-4 files, nc_put_att will notice if you are writing a
_Fill_Value_ attribute, and will tell the HDF5 layer to use the
specified fill value for that variable.

\section Example

Here is an example using nc_put_att_double() to add a variable
attribute named valid_range for a netCDF variable named rh and
nc_put_att_text() to add a global attribute named title to an existing
netCDF dataset named foo.nc:

\code
     #include <netcdf.h>
        ...
     int  status;        
     int  ncid;          
     int  rh_id;         
     static double rh_range[] = {0.0, 100.0};
     static char title[] = "example netCDF dataset";
        ...
     status = nc_open("foo.nc", NC_WRITE, &ncid);
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
        ...
     status = nc_redef(ncid);                
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
     status = nc_inq_varid (ncid, "rh", &rh_id);
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
        ...
     status = nc_put_att_double (ncid, rh_id, "valid_range",
                                 NC_DOUBLE, 2, rh_range);
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
     status = nc_put_att_text (ncid, NC_GLOBAL, "title",
                               strlen(title), title)
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
        ...
     status = nc_enddef(ncid);               
     if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
