Brief_I/O

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   handle     I   Handle of open DLA file.
   dladsc     I   Descriptor of a DLA segment.
   nxtdsc     O   Descriptor of next segment in DLA file.
   found      O   Flag indicating whether a segment was found.

Detailed_Input

   handle      is the DAS integer handle associated with the file to be
               searched. This handle is used to identify the file in
               subsequent calls to other DLA or DAS routines.

   dladsc      is the descriptor of the a DLA segment in the file
               associated with `handle'.

Detailed_Output

   nxtdsc      is the descriptor of the next DLA segment following the
               segment associated with the input argument `dladsc'.

               `nxtdsc' is valid only if the output argument `found' is
               SPICETRUE.


   found       is a logical flag indicating whether the next segment was
               found.  `found' has the value SPICETRUE if the segment was
               found; otherwise `found' is SPICEFALSE.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

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

   2)  If an error occurs while reading the DLA file, the error
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   3)  If the input descriptor is invalid, this routine will
       fail in an unpredictable manner.

Files

   See description of input argument `handle'.

Particulars

   DLA files are built using the DAS low-level format; DLA files are
   a specialized type of DAS file in which data are organized as a
   doubly linked list of segments. Each segment's data belong to
   contiguous components of character, double precision, and integer
   type.

   This routine supports forward traversal of a DLA file's segment
   list. A forward traversal may be started from any segment in
   the file; it is not necessary to call dlabfs_c first. The role
   of dlabfs_c is simply to return the descriptor of the first
   segment in the file.

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) Open a DLA file for read access, traverse the segment
      list from front to back, and display segment address
      and size attributes.

      Example code begins here.


      /.
         Program dlafns_ex1
      ./

      #include "SpiceUsr.h"
      #include "SpiceDLA.h"
      #include <stdio.h>

      int main()

         SpiceDLADescr           current;

         SpiceInt                handle;
         SpiceInt                segno;

         /.
         Prompt for the name of the file to search.
         ./
         prompt_c ( "Name of DLA file > ", FILSIZ, fname );

         /.
         Open the DLA file for read access.  Since DLA
         files use the DAS architecture, we can use DAS
         routines to open and close the file.
         ./
         dasopr_c ( fname, &handle );

         /.
         Begin a forward search.  Let `dladsc' contain
         the descriptor of the first segment.
         ./
         segno = 0;

         dlabfs_c ( handle, &dladsc, &found );

         while ( found )
         {
            /.
            Display the contents of the current segment
            descriptor.

                     (int)(dladsc.csize)                                  );

            /.
            Find the next segment.
            ./
            current = dladsc;

            dlafns_c ( handle, &current, &dladsc, &found );
         }

         /.
         Close the file using the DAS close routine.
         ./
         dascls_c ( handle );

         return ( 0 );
      }


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, using the DSK file named phobos512.bds, the output
      was:


      Name of DLA file > phobos512.bds


      Segment number = 1

         Backward segment pointer         = -1
         Forward segment pointer          = -1
         Integer component base address   = 11
         Integer component size           = 29692614
         D.p. component base address      = 0
         D.p. component size              = 4737076
