Defines a lightweight wrapper class to wrap a single GRIB message.

class iris_grib.message.GribMessage(raw_message, recreate_raw, file_ref=None)

An in-memory representation of a GribMessage, providing access to the data() payload and the metadata elements by section via the sections() property.

  Name of the file to generate fields from.
