   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   inst       I   Frame class ID (CK ID) of a CK frame.
   et         I   Epoch measured in seconds past J2000 TDB.
   rotate     O   Rotation matrix from CK frame to frame `ref'.
   ref        O   Frame ID of the base reference.
   found      O   SPICETRUE when requested pointing is available.

Detailed_Input

   inst        is the unique frame class ID (CK ID) of the CK frame for
               which data is being requested.

   et          is the epoch for which the position rotation is desired.
               `et' should be given in seconds past the epoch of J2000
               TDB.

Detailed_Output

   rotate      is a position rotation matrix that converts positions
               relative to the CK frame given by its frame class ID,
               `inst', to positions relative to the base frame given by
               its frame ID, `ref'.

               Thus, if a position S has components x,y,z in the CK
               frame, then S has components x', y', z' in the base
               frame.

                  .-  -.     .-        -. .- -.
                  | x' |     |          | | x |
                  | y' |  =  |  rotate  | | y |
                  | z' |     |          | | z |
                  `-  -'     `-        -' `- -'


   ref         is the ID code of the base reference frame to which
               `rotate' will transform positions.

   found       is SPICETRUE if a record was found to satisfy the pointing
               request. `found' will be SPICEFALSE otherwise.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If no CK files were loaded prior to calling this routine, an
       error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   2)  If no SCLK correlation data needed to read CK files were
       loaded prior to calling this routine, an error is signaled by
       a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   3)  If the input time `et' cannot be converted to an encoded SCLK
       time, using SCLK data associated with `inst', an error is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

Files

   ckfrot_c searches through loaded CK files to locate a segment that
   can satisfy the request for position rotation data for the CK
   frame with the specified frame class ID at time `et'. You must load
   a CK file containing such data before calling this routine. You
   must also load SCLK and possibly LSK files needed to convert the
   input `et' time to the encoded SCLK time with which the orientation
   data stored inside that CK is tagged.

Particulars

   ckfrot_c searches through loaded CK files to satisfy a pointing
   request. Last-loaded files are searched first, and individual
   files are searched in backwards order, giving priority to
   segments that were added to a file later than the others.

   The search ends when a segment is found that can give pointing
   for the specified CK frame at the request time.

   Segments with and without angular velocities are considered by
   this routine.

   This routine uses the ckmeta_c routine to determine the SCLK ID
   used to convert the input `et' time to the encoded SCLK time used
   to look up pointing data in loaded CK files.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Use ckfrot_c to compute the instantaneous angular velocity
      vector for the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft frame,
      "MGS_SPACECRAFT", relative to the inertial frame used as the
      base frame in CK files containing MGS spacecraft orientation
      at 2003-JUL-25 13:00:00. The frame class ID (CK ID) for the
      "MGS_SPACECRAFT" frame is -94000.


      Suppose that r(t) is the rotation matrix whose columns
      represent the inertial pointing vectors of the MGS spacecraft
      axes at time `t'.

      Then the angular velocity vector points along the vector given
      by:

                              T
          limit  axis( r(t+h)r )
          h-->0


      And the magnitude of the angular velocity at time `t' is given
      by:

                              T
          d angle ( r(t+h)r(t) )
         ------------------------   at   h = 0
                    dh

         This meta-kernel is intended to support operation of SPICE
         example programs. The kernels shown here should not be
         assumed to contain adequate or correct versions of data
         required by SPICE-based user applications.

         In order for an application to use this meta-kernel, the
         kernels referenced here must be present in the user's
         current working directory.

         The names and contents of the kernels referenced
         by this meta-kernel are as follows:
