When a default argument is given, it is returned when the attribute doesn’t exist; without it, an exception is raised in that case.

Parameters :
prop : str

The name of the CF property.

default : optional

Return default if and only if the variable does not have the named property.

Returns :
out :

The value of the named property, or the default value.

Raises :
AttributeError :

>>> f.getprop('standard_name', None)

AttributeError: Field doesn't have CF property 'foo'
