| macOS    | arm64 (Apple Silicon) | ✅ Supported |
| Windows  | x86_64      | ✅ Supported |

## Quick Start

```python
from skyborn_cdo import Cdo

cdo = Cdo()
print(cdo.version())  # CDO 2.6.0
```

## Usage

skyborn-cdo provides two API styles — **command-line style** and **method-call style** — both covering all 900+ CDO operators.

### 1. Command-line Style — `cdo()`

Pass a full CDO command string, just like typing in a terminal. The leading `cdo` prefix is optional.

```python
from skyborn_cdo import Cdo

cdo = Cdo()

# With 'cdo' prefix (copy/paste from terminal)
cdo("cdo -O mergetime in1.nc in2.nc out.nc")

# Without 'cdo' prefix (also valid)
cdo("mergetime in1.nc in2.nc out.nc")

# Complex command with options
cdo("-O -f nc4 sellonlatbox,0,30,0,30 input.nc output.nc")

# Chained operators (CDO pipe syntax)
cdo("-O -f nc4 -fldmean -sellonlatbox,70,140,10,55 input.nc output.nc")
cdo("-O -f nc4 -sp2gpl -setgridtype,regular input.nc output.nc")
```

### 2. Method-call Style — `cdo.operator()`

Each of CDO's 900+ operators is available as a Python method via dynamic dispatch.

```python
from skyborn_cdo import Cdo

cdo = Cdo()

# Basic: operator(parameters, input=..., output=...)
cdo.sellonlatbox("0,30,0,30", input="input.nc", output="output.nc")

# No parameters needed
cdo.copy(input="input.nc", output="output.nc")
cdo.topo(output="topo.nc")

# Multiple input files (space-separated string or list)
cdo.mergetime(input="in1.nc in2.nc in3.nc", output="merged.nc")
cdo.mergetime(input=["in1.nc", "in2.nc", "in3.nc"], output="merged.nc")

# Wildcard / glob patterns (automatically expanded)
cdo.mergetime(input="data_2020*.nc", output="merged.nc")
cdo.mergetime(input="/path/to/data_20200?.nc", output="merged.nc")
cdo.ensmean(input="ensemble_*.nc", output="ensmean.nc")
```

> **Wildcards**: Both `cdo.operator(input="*.nc")` and `cdo("mergetime *.nc out.nc")` support glob patterns (`*`, `?`, `[...]`). Files are sorted alphabetically before being passed to CDO.

### 3. Options

CDO options like `-O` (overwrite), `-s` (silent), `-f nc4` (output format) can be set globally or per-call.

```python
# Global options — applied to every command
cdo = Cdo(options="-O -s")
cdo.copy(input="in.nc", output="out.nc")

# Per-call options — merged with global options
cdo = Cdo()
cdo.copy(input="in.nc", output="out.nc", options="-O -f nc4")

# Common options:
#   -O          Overwrite existing output files
#   -s          Silent mode (suppress informational messages)
#   -f nc4      Output in NetCDF4 format
#   -f nc4c     Output in NetCDF4 classic format
#   -f grb2     Output in GRIB2 format
#   -P 4        Use 4 threads for parallel processing
```

> **⚠️ Important**: CDO **does not overwrite** existing output files by default.
> If the output file already exists, CDO will raise an error:
> `Outputfile out.nc already exists!`
> Use `-O` to enable overwriting: `cdo = Cdo(options="-O")` or pass `options="-O"` per call.

### 4. Info Operators (return text output)

Operators like `info`, `sinfo`, `griddes`, `showname`, etc. return their text output as a string instead of writing to a file.

```python
cdo = Cdo()

# File information
info = cdo.sinfo(input="input.nc")
print(info)

# Grid description
grid = cdo.griddes(input="input.nc")
print(grid)

# Show variable names
names = cdo.showname(input="input.nc")
print(names)

# Show timestamps
dates = cdo.showdate(input="input.nc")
print(dates)

# Number of time steps / levels / variables
print(cdo.ntime(input="input.nc"))
print(cdo.nlevel(input="input.nc"))
print(cdo.nvar(input="input.nc"))
```

### 5. Return as xarray / netCDF4 / numpy

```python
# Return as xarray.Dataset (requires: pip install skyborn-cdo[xarray])
ds = cdo.sellonlatbox("0,30,0,30", input="input.nc", returnXArray=True)
print(ds)

# Return as netCDF4.Dataset (requires: pip install netCDF4)
nc = cdo.copy(input="input.nc", returnCdf=True)
print(nc.variables.keys())

# Return as numpy array (first variable)
arr = cdo.copy(input="input.nc", returnArray=True)
print(arr.shape)

# Return as masked numpy array
marr = cdo.copy(input="input.nc", returnMaArray=True)
```

### 6. Chained Operators (Pipeline)

CDO supports nesting operators in a single command. This is the most powerful feature for building complex processing pipelines.

#### Command-line style (recommended for complex chains)

```python
cdo = Cdo(options="-O")

# Remapping → Spatial selection → Field mean
cdo("-f nc4 -fldmean -sellonlatbox,70,140,10,55 -remapbil,r180x90 input.nc output.nc")

# Spectral mode conversion pipeline
cdo("-f nc4 -sp2gpl -setgridtype,regular input_spectral.nc output_regular.nc")

# Arithmetic pipeline
cdo("-addc,273.15 -mulc,0.01 input.nc output.nc")

# Conditional masking
cdo("-ifthen -gtc,0 topo.nc topo.nc positive_topo.nc")
```

#### Method-call style (using input as sub-command)

```python
cdo = Cdo(options="-O")

# Use CDO operator syntax in the input parameter for chaining
cdo.remapbil("r360x180", input="-mergetime in1.nc in2.nc in3.nc", output="out.nc")
cdo.fldmean(input="-sellonlatbox,70,140,10,55 input.nc", output="mean.nc")
cdo.timmean(input="-sellonlatbox,0,360,-30,30 -remapbil,r180x90 input.nc", output="out.nc")
```

### 7. Common Operator Examples

### 8. Error Handling

skyborn-cdo captures all CDO errors and raises them as `CdoError` exceptions with full diagnostic information.

```python
from skyborn_cdo import Cdo, CdoError

cdo = Cdo()

try:
    cdo.sellonlatbox("0,30,0,30", input="nonexistent.nc", output="out.nc")
except CdoError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    print(f"Return code: {e.returncode}")
    print(f"CDO stderr: {e.stderr}")
    print(f"Command: {e.cmd}")
```

Common errors:
- **File not found**: `Open failed on >file.nc< No such file or directory`
- **Output exists**: `Outputfile out.nc already exists!` → Add `-O` option
- **Invalid parameters**: `Float parameter >abc< contains invalid character`
- **Timeout**: `CDO command timed out after 60s` → Increase timeout

### 9. Timeout

```python
# Global timeout for all commands (seconds)
cdo = Cdo(timeout=300)

# Per-call timeout override
cdo.remapcon("r3600x1800", input="input.nc", output="hires.nc", timeout=600)
cdo("cdo -O remapcon,r3600x1800 input.nc hires.nc", timeout=600)
```

### 10. Debug Mode

```python
# Print executed commands and CDO stderr output
cdo = Cdo(debug=True)
cdo.sellonlatbox("0,30,0,30", input="input.nc", output="output.nc")
# [skyborn-cdo] Running: /path/to/cdo -sellonlatbox,0,30,0,30 input.nc output.nc
# [skyborn-cdo] stderr: cdo    sellonlatbox: ...
```

### 11. Getting Help

#### Python API — `cdo.help()`

```python
from skyborn_cdo import Cdo

cdo = Cdo()

# Help for a specific operator
print(cdo.help("sellonlatbox"))
print(cdo.help("mergetime"))
print(cdo.help("remapbil"))

# General usage summary
print(cdo.help())

# List all available operators
print(cdo.operators())

# Check if an operator exists
cdo.has_operator("sellonlatbox")  # True
```

#### CLI — `skyborn-cdo -h` / `--help`

```bash
# Show general help
skyborn-cdo --help

# Show help for a specific CDO operator (passed to CDO directly)
skyborn-cdo -h sellonlatbox
skyborn-cdo -h mergetime
skyborn-cdo -h remapbil

# List all operators
skyborn-cdo --operators

# Also works via python -m
python -m skyborn_cdo --help
python -m skyborn_cdo -h sellonlatbox
```

## CLI

The package provides a `skyborn-cdo` command-line tool (also available as `python -m skyborn_cdo`):

```bash
# Show installation info and CDO version
skyborn-cdo --info

# Show help
skyborn-cdo --help

# Operator-level help (forwarded to CDO)
skyborn-cdo -h sellonlatbox

# List all operators
skyborn-cdo --operators

# Pass-through to CDO (any CDO command works)
skyborn-cdo -O -f nc4 copy input.nc output.nc
skyborn-cdo mergetime in1.nc in2.nc out.nc
skyborn-cdo -O -f nc4 -sp2gpl -setgridtype,regular spectral.nc regular.nc
```

## CDO Operators

skyborn-cdo provides access to **938 CDO operators** covering all aspects of climate data processing. Check operator availability:

```python
cdo = Cdo()
print(len(cdo.operators()))  # 938
cdo.has_operator("sellonlatbox")  # True
print(cdo.help("sellonlatbox"))  # Get operator documentation
```

- Space: `sellonlatbox`, `remapbil`, `remapcon`, `zonmean`, `mermean`
- Time: `mergetime`, `timmean`, `monmean`, `yearsum`, `seldate`, `selyear`
- Statistics: `fldmean`, `fldstd`, `fldmin`, `fldmax`, `ensmean`
- Arithmetic: `add`, `sub`, `mul`, `div`, `addc`, `mulc`, `expr`

**How to decide if you need an operator:**
```python
# Search operators by keyword
cdo = Cdo()
time_ops = [op for op in cdo.operators() if 'time' in op]
print(f"Time-related: {len(time_ops)} operators")  # 208

# Get detailed help for any operator
print(cdo.help("operator_name"))
```
