An application program interface accessible from C and FORTRAN programs
developed for encoding and decoding WMO FM-92 GRIB and WMO FM-94 BUFR messages.
A useful set of command line tools is also provided to give quick access to
GRIB and BUFR messages.

ecCodes is mostly API compatible with its precursor grib_api, with exception
of obsolescent and experimental features, see
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/GRIB-API+migration for details.
This package provides compat symlinks to use as grib_api replacement.
