Create a new file.

Parameters

[in]	iosys	The handle to the I/O system. IO system descriptor structure. This structure contains the general IO subsystem data and MPI structure
[out]	file	The handle to the created file is returned via this arg.

File descriptor structure. This structure holds information associated with each open file

Parameters

[in,out] iotype The I/O type to use to create the file. The library can modify the I/O type when retrying with other I/O types (when the user specified I/O type fails). If a different I/O type is used by the library this argument is updated accordingly. An integer parameter that controls the underlying I/O library and the I/O library-specific options (compression etc) used by the library. Note that since an iotype is associated with a file, two different files can potentially be associated with two different iotypes.

PIO_iotype_pnetcdf : parallel read/write using the PnetCDF library
PIO_iotype_netcdf : serial (only the root I/O process) read/write using the NetCDF library
PIO_iotype_netcdf4c : parallel read/serial write of NetCDF4 (HDF5) files with data compression
PIO_iotype_netcdf4p : parallel read/write of NETCDF4 (HDF5) files
PIO_iotype_netcdf4p_nczarr : parallel read/write of NETCDF4 NCZarr files
PIO_iotype_adios : parallel read/write of ADIOS files
PIO_iotype_adiosc : parallel read/write of ADIOS files with data compression
PIO_iotype_hdf5 : parallel write of HDF5 files

PIO_iotype_hdf5c : parallel read/write of HDF5 files with data compression

Parameters

[in]	fname	The name of the file to be created
[in]	mode	(Optional) The file access mode. : The flags to specify the file access mode when creating a file PIO_CLOBBER : The file, if it exists, is truncated (the old contents of the file are deleted/overwritten) PIO_NOCLOBBER : This flag is used to ensure that a file, if it exists, is not truncated (the current contents of the file are not deleted) during file creation. If a file exists and the user uses PIO_NOCLOBBER while trying to recreate the file the call (PIO_createfile) will fail

Returns: : The error return code. Set to PIO_NOERR on success, or an error code otherwise (See PIO_seterrorhandling for more information on how to customize/set error handling)
