   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   handle     I   Handle of file to be searched.

Detailed_Input

   handle      is the handle of a DAF on which a forward
               search is to be conducted.

Detailed_Output

   None.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the input handle is invalid, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   2)  If the summary record of the first record in the DAF file cannot be
       read, the error SPICE(RECORDNOTFOUND) is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

Files

   See argument `handle'.

Particulars

   The DAF search routines are:

      dafbfs_c       Begin forward search.
      daffna         Find next array.

      dafbbs_c       Begin backward search.
      daffpa_c       Find previous array.

      dafgs_c        Get summary.
      dafgn_c        Get name.
      dafgh_c        Get handle.

      dafcs_c        Continue search.

   The main function of these entry points is to allow the
   contents of any DAF to be examined on an array-by-array
   basis.

   Conceptually, the arrays in a DAF form a doubly linked list,
   which can be searched in either of two directions: forward or
   backward. It is possible to search multiple DAFs simultaneously.

   dafbfs_c (begin forward search) and daffna are used to search the
   arrays in a DAF in forward order. In applications that search a
   single DAF at a time, the normal usage is

      dafbfs_c ( handle );
      daffna_c ( &found );

      while ( found )
      {
         dafgs_c ( sum  );
         dafgn_c ( name );
          .
          .

         daffna_c ( &found );
      }


   dafbbs_c (begin backward search) and daffpa_c are used to search the
   arrays in a DAF in backward order. In applications that search
   a single DAF at a time, the normal usage is

      dafbbs_c ( handle );
      daffpa_c ( &found );

      while ( found )
      {
         dafgs_c ( sum  );
         dafgn_c ( name );
          .
          .

         daffpa_c ( &found );
      }


   In applications that conduct multiple searches simultaneously,
   the above usage must be modified to specify the handle of the
   file to operate on, in any case where the file may not be the
   last one specified by dafbfs_c or dafbbs_c. The routine dafcs_c
   (DAF, continue search) is used for this purpose. Below, we
   give an example of an interleaved search of two files specified
   by the handles handl1 and handl2. The directions of searches
   in different DAFs are independent; here we conduct a forward
   search on one file and a backward search on the other.
   Throughout, we use dafcs to specify which file to operate on,
   before calling daffna_c, daffpa_c, dafgs_c, or dafgn_c.


      dafbfs_c ( handl1 );
      dafbbs_c ( handl2 );

      dafcs_c  ( handl1  );
      daffna_c ( &found1 );

      dafcs_c  ( handl2  );
      daffpa_c ( &found2 );

      while ( found1 || found2 )
      {
         if ( found1 )
         {
            dafcs_c ( handl1 );
            dafgs_c ( sum    );
            dafgn_c ( name   );
             .
             .
            dafcs_c  ( handl1  );
            daffna_c ( &found1 );
         }

         if ( found2 )
         {
            dafcs_c ( handl2 );
            dafgs_c ( sum    );
            dafgn_c ( name   );
             .
             .
            dafcs_c  ( handl2  );
            daffpa_c ( &found2 );
         }
      }


   At any time, the latest array found (whether by daffna_c or daffpa_c)
   is regarded as the "current" array for the file in which the
   array was found. The last DAF in which a search was started,
   executed, or continued by any of dafbfs_c, dafbbs_c, daffna_c,
   daffpa_c or dafcs_c is regarded as the "current" DAF. The summary
   and name for the current array in the current DAF can be obtained
   separately, as shown above, by calls to dafgs_c (get summary) and
   dafgn_c (get name). The handle of the current DAF can also be
   obtained by calling dafgh_c (get handle).

   Once a search has been begun, it may be continued in either
   direction. That is, daffpa_c may be used to back up during a
   forward search, and daffna_c may be used to advance during a
   backward search.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for these examples 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) See -Particulars.

   2) Create a simple program to output the double precision and integer
      values stored in an SPK's segments' descriptors. This function
      opens a DAF for read, performs a forwards search for the DAF
      arrays, prints the segment descriptor for each array found, then
      closes the DAF.

      Use the SPK kernel below as input DAF file for the program.

      Note, the final entries in the integer array contain the segment
      start/end indexes. The output indicates the search proceeded
      from the start of the file (low value index) towards the end
      (high value index).
