"""
Read a CSU-CHILL CHL file.
Parameters
----------
filename : str
Name of CHL file.
field_names : dict, optional
Dictionary mapping CHL field names to radar field names. If a
data type found in the file does not appear in this dictionary or has
a value of None it will not be placed in the radar.fields dictionary.
A value of None, the default, will use the mapping defined in the
Py-ART configuration file.
additional_metadata : dict of dicts, optional
Dictionary of dictionaries to retrieve metadata from during this read.
This metadata is not used during any successive file reads unless
explicitly included. A value of None, the default, will not
introduct any addition metadata and the file specific or default
metadata as specified by the Py-ART configuration file will be used.
file_field_names : bool, optional
True to use the CHL field names for the field names in the radar
object. If this case the field_names parameter is ignored.
The field dictionary will likely only have a 'data' key, unless
the fields are defined in `additional_metadata`.
exclude_fields : list or None, optional
List of fields to exclude from the radar object. This is applied
after the `file_field_names` and `field_names` parameters.
include_fields : list or None, optional
List of fields to include from the radar object. This is applied
after the `field_file_names` and `field_names` parameters. Set to
None to include all fields not in exclude_fields.
use_file_field_attributes : bool, optional
True to use information provided by in the file to set the field
attribute `long_name`, `units`, `valid_max`, and `valid_min`. False
will not set these unless they are defined in the configuration file
or in `additional_metadata`.
Returns
-------
radar : Radar
Radar object containing data from CHL file.
