_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function creates a binary CDF file given a valid CDF
     structure containing all necessary elements.

     _Warning: The API for this function is likely to be changed in
     future versions._

_U_s_a_g_e:

       writeCdf(fname, cdfheader, cdf, cdfqc, overwrite=FALSE, verbose=0)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   fname: name of the CDF file.

cdfheader: A list with a structure equal to the output of
          'readCdfHeader'.

     cdf: A list with a structure equal to the output of 'readCdf'.

   cdfqc: A list with a structure equal to the output of 'readCdfQc'.

overwrite: Overwrite existing file?

 verbose: how verbose should the output be. 0 means no output, with
          higher numbers being more verbose.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function has been validated mainly by reading in various 
     ASCII or binary CDF files which are written back as new CDF 
     files, and compared element by element with the original files.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     This function is used for its byproduct: creating a CDF file.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     To read the CDF "regular" and QC units with all necessary fields 
     and values for writing a CDF file, see 'readCdf', 'readCdfQc'()
     and 'readCdfHeader'. To compare two CDF files, see 'compareCdfs'.
