Brief_I/O

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   cvals      I   An array that contains a SPICE text kernel.
   cvalen     I   Length of strings in cvals.
   n          I   The number of entries in cvals.

Detailed_Input

   cvals       is an array of strings that contains lines of text
               that could serve as a SPICE text kernel. cvals is
               declared as follows:

                  ConstSpiceChar   cvals [n][cvalen]

               Each string in cvals is null-terminated.

   cvalen      is the common length of the strings in cvals,
               including the terminating nulls.

   n           is the number of strings in cvals.

Detailed_Output

   None.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If any of the kernel pool variables names or their values, as
       provided in the input `cvals' array, cannot be parsed, an error
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   2)  If there is no room left in the kernel pool to store all
       variables present in the input `cvals' array, an error is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   3)  If the length of any kernel pool variable name present in the
       input `cvals' array exceeds its maximum allowed length (see
       Kernel Required Reading, kernel.req), an error is signaled by
       a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   4)  If the `cvals' input array pointer is null, the error
       SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   5)  If the `cvals' input array strings have length less than two
       characters, the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is signaled.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This routine allows you to store a text kernel in an internal
   array of your program and load this array into the kernel pool
   without first storing its contents as a text kernel.

   Kernel pool variable names are restricted to a length of 32
   characters or less.

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) Create an LSK kernel in a text buffer and load the variables
      contained within the buffer into the kernel pool. Ensure the
      loaded data exists in the kernel pool. Query the pool for
      each expected name, and print the size of the variable with
      that name, and the type of data for that name.

      Convert a UTC time string to ephemeris time to verify that
      the LSK loaded from the text buffer works as if it was loaded
      using a furnsh_c call.

   -CSPICE Version 1.4.0, 04-AUG-2021 (JDR)

       Changed the input argument name "lenvals" to "cvalen" for
       consistency with other routines.

       Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added complete
       code example. Extended the -Exceptions section.

   -CSPICE Version 1.3.1, 10-FEB-2010 (EDW)

       Added mention of the restriction on kernel pool variable
       names to 32 characters or less.

   -CSPICE Version 1.3.0, 12-JUL-2002 (NJB)

       Call to C2F_CreateStrArr_Sig replaced with call to C2F_MapStrArr.

   -CSPICE Version 1.2.0, 28-AUG-2001 (NJB)

       Const-qualified input array.

   -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 14-FEB-2000 (NJB)

       Calls to C2F_CreateStrArr replaced with calls to error-signaling
       version of this routine:  C2F_CreateStrArr_Sig.

   -CSPICE Version 1.0.0, 08-JUN-1999 (NJB) (WLT)
