NC_EMULTIDEFINE?

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hi, John,

If you call nfmpi_strerror(NC_EMULTIDEFINE), it will produce an error message:
"File header is inconsistent among processes"

PnetCDF's define APIs require all processes use the same values for the
API's arguments. NC_EMULTIDEFINE indicates the violation of this requirement.
The most common case is defining a time stamp as a global attribute and different
processes may read timer at a slightly different value.
