+**What it does**
+
+First the tool will give general information about the input in a 'info file' output. (command $ncdump -h inputfile)
+
+Then, a general tabular 'variables' summarize dimensions details inside each available variable.
+
+
+The summary tabular file has the general structure :
+
+
+    Variable1    Var1_Number_of_Dim    Dim1    Dim1_size   ...    DimN    DimN_size
+
+    VariableX    VarX_Number_of_Dim    DimX1   DimX1_size  ...    DimXN   DimXN_size
+
+    ...
+
+
+**Input**
+
+A netcdf file (xxx.nc).
+
+**Outputs**
+
+An Information file.
+
+A summary tabular file.
