Defaults to "zlib". .TP .BI \-\-shuffle=(0|1) Activate or not the shuffling filter (default is active if complevel>0). .TP .BI \-\-fletcher32=(0|1) Whether activate or not the fletcher32 filter (not active by default). .TP .BI \-\-unpackshort=(0|1) Unpack short integer variables to float variables using scale_factor and add_offset netCDF variable attributes (not active by default). .TP .BI \-\-quantize=(0|1) Quantize data to improve compression using least_significant_digit netCDF variable attribute (not active by default).
