+  + Hints nc_header_align_size, nc_var_align_size, and nc_record_align_size are
+    to align the file header extent, starting file offsets of data section, and
+    record variable section, respectively. Note that nc_var_align_size and

     with a call to unlink() first and re-created it later. Calling unlink() on
