Brief_I/O

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   name       I   The kernel pool name to associate with values.
   n          I   The number of values to insert.
   ivals      I   An array of integers to insert into the pool.

Detailed_Input

   name        is the name of the kernel pool variable to associate
               with the values supplied in the array ivals. 'name' is
               restricted to a length of 32 characters or less.

   n           is the number of values to insert into the kernel pool.

   ivals       is an array of integers to insert into the kernel pool.

Detailed_Output

   None.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If `name' is already present in the kernel pool and there
       is sufficient room to hold all values supplied in `ivals',
       the old values associated with `name' will be overwritten.

   2)  If there is not sufficient room to insert a new variable into
       the kernel pool and `name' is not already present in the kernel
       pool, an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
       this routine.

   3)  If there is not sufficient room to insert the values
       associated with `name', the error SPICE(NOMOREROOM) is signaled
       by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   4)  If the kernel pool variable name length exceeds its maximum
       allowed length (see Kernel Required Reading, kernel.req), the
       error SPICE(BADVARNAME) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   5)  If the `name' input string pointer is null, the error
       SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   6)  If the `name' input string has zero length, the error
       SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This entry point provides a programmatic interface for inserting
   data into the SPICE kernel pool without reading an external 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) The following example code shows how a topocentric frame for a
      point on the surface of the earth may be defined at run time using
      pcpool_c, pdpool_c, and pipool_c. In this example, the surface
      point is associated with the body code 300000. To facilitate
      testing, the location of the surface point coincides with that of
      the DSN station DSS-12; the reference frame MYTOPO defined here
      coincides with the reference frame DSS-12_TOPO.

      Use the meta-kernel shown below to load the required SPICE
      kernels.

         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:
