Details

This function initializes the UDUNITS2 library. It is called by .onLoad when the package is loaded. Normally, the user does not need to call this function.

UDUNITS2 obtains a unit system by reading an XML file. The file name is given by argument path, if it is a non-empty character string. Otherwise, the file name is taken from environment variable UDUNITS2_XML_PATH, if it is a non-empty character string. By default, the file name is set to an XML file distributed with RNetCDF.
