void bodc2n_c ( SpiceInt code,
SpiceInt lenout,
SpiceChar * name,
SpiceBoolean * found )
Translate the SPICE integer code of a body into a common name
for that body.

Variable I/O Description
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
code I Integer ID code to be translated into a name.
lenout I Maximum length of output name.
name O A common name for the body identified by code.
found O True if translated, otherwise false.
code is an integer code for a body ---
a planet, satellite, barycenter, spacecraft,
asteroid, comet, or other ephemeris object.
lenout is the maximum allowed length of the output name,
including the terminating null character. For example,
if the caller wishes to be able to accept a 32-character
name, lenout must be set to (at least) 33. The current
maximum name length is 32 characters, so a value of 33
for lenout will suffice.
name is a common name of the body identified by code.
If code has more than one translation, then the
most recently defined name corresponding to code
is returned. 'name' will have the exact format (case
and blanks) as when the name/code pair was defined.
No more than lenout characters, including the
terminating null, will be written to name. A terminating
null will always be written.
found is SPICETRUE if code has a translation. Otherwise, found
is SPICEFALSE.
None.
1) If the output string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
is signaled.
2) If the output string has length less than two characters, it
is too short to contain one character of output data plus a null
terminator, so it cannot be passed to the underlying Fortran
routine. In this event, the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is
signaled.
None.
bodc2n_c is one of three related subroutines,
bodn2c_c Body name to code
bodc2n_c Body code to name
boddef_c Body name/code definition
bodn2c_c and bodc2n_c perform translations between body names
and their corresponding integer ID codes which are used
in SPK and PCK files and routines. A set of name/code
pairs are automatically defined during the first call to
one of these subroutines. Additional name/code pairs may
be defined via boddef_c.
1. Suppose you ran the utility program SPACIT to summarize
an SPK ephemeris file and the following data was output
to the terminal screen.
----------------------------------------------------------
Segment identifier: JPL archive 21354
Body : -77 Center : 399
From : 1990 DEC 08 18:00:00.000
To : 1990 DEC 10 21:10:00.000
Reference : DE-200 SPK Type :1
----------------------------------------------------------
You could write a program to translate the body codes
shown in the SPACIT output:
#define MAXLEN 32
.
.
.
bodc2n_c ( -77, MAXLEN, body, found );
bodc2n_c ( 399, MAXLEN, center, found );
if ( found )
{
printf ( "body: -77 = %s\n", body );
printf ( "center: 399 = %s\n", center );
}
You could also read the body and center codes directly from
the SPK files, using the appropriate DAF routines, and then
translate them, as above.
2. In this example, we assume that boddef_c has not been called,
so only the set of default name/code pairs has
been defined.
Given these names, bodn2c_c will return the following codes:
Name Code Found?
------------------------ ------ ------
"EARTH" 399 Yes
" Earth " 399 Yes
"EMB" 3 Yes
"Solar System Barycenter" 0 Yes
"SolarSystemBarycenter" - No
"SSB" 0 Yes
"Voyager 2" -32 Yes
"U.S.S. Enterprise" - No
" " - No
"Halley's Comet" - No
Given these codes, bodc2n_c will return the following names:
Code Name Found?
------- ------------------- ------
399 "EARTH" Yes
0 "SOLAR SYSTEM BARYCENTER" Yes
3 "EARTH BARYCENTER" Yes
-77 "GALILEO ORBITER" Yes
11 - No
-1 - No
None.
None.
