This module writes information about the structure of infiles to standard output. infiles is an arbitrary number of input files. All input files need to have the same structure with the same variables on different timesteps. The information displayed depends on the chosen operator.
Value
Operators that output one or more files return a character vector to the output files.
Operators that output an indefinite number of files return a string with the basename of the files.
Operatos that don't return filenames return a character vector with the string output.

- type of statistical processing
- number of levels and z-axis number
- horizontal grid size and number
- data type
- memory type (float or double)
