Unlike MATLAB, netcdf.create does not work but netcdf_create does work!
See https://octave.sourceforge.io/netcdf/overview.html


Tested on octave-4.2.1 on windows

>> ncid = netcdf.create('foo.nc','NOCLOBBER')

warning: the 'netcdf' function is not yet implemented in Octave


>> ncid = netcdf_create('foo.nc','NOCLOBBER')

ncid =  65536
