## Detailed Description

Get the value for a key from a grib message.

Given a gribid and key as input a value for the key is returned. In some cases the value can be an array rather than a scalar. As examples of array keys we have "values","pl", "pv" respectively the data values, the list of number of points for each latitude in a reduced grid and the list of vertical levels. In these cases the value array must be allocated by the caller and their required dimension can be obtained with codes_get_size.
The value can be integer(4), real(4), real(8), character. Although each key has its own native type, a key of type integer can be retrieved (with codes_get) as real(4), real(8) or character. Analogous conversions are always provided when possible. Illegal conversions are real to integer and character to any other type.

The gribid references to a grib message loaded in memory.

In case of error, if the status parameter (optional) is not given, the program will exit with an error message.
Otherwise the error message can be gathered with codes_get_error_string.

Examples: grib_get_keys.f90, grib_print_data.f90

Parameters

  [in] | gribid | id of the message loaded in memory
  [in] | key | key name
  [out] | value | value can be a scalar or array of integer(4),real(4),real(8),character
  [out] | status | CODES_SUCCESS if OK, integer value on error
