## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{val} =} ncreadatt(@var{filename},@var{varname},@var{attname})
##
## Return the attribute @var{attname} of the variable @var{varname} in the file
## @var{filename}.
##
## Global attributes can be accessed by using "/" or the group name as
## @var{varname}. The type of attribute is mapped to the Octave data types.
## (see @code{ncinfo}).
##
## @subsubheading Example
## Read global attribute 'creation_date'
## @example
## d = ncreadatt('test.nc','/','creation_date')
## @end example
## Read atribute 'myattr' assigned to variable mydata.
## @example
## d = ncreadattr('test.nc', 'mydata', 'myattr');
## @end example
## @seealso{ncinfo,ncwriteatt}
## @end deftypefn
function val = ncreadatt(filename,varname,attname)
ncid = netcdf_open(filename,'NC_NOWRITE');
[gid,varid] = ncloc(ncid,varname);
if isempty(varid)
