Procedure
CKSNS ( C-kernel, Select next segment )
ENTRY CKSNS ( HANDLE, DESCR, SEGID, FOUND )
Abstract
Search through loaded files to find a segment matching the
requested instrument, time, and need for angular velocity,
buffering segment descriptors, identifiers, and handles in the
process to minimize file reads.

Brief_I/O
VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
HANDLE O Handle of file containing the applicable segment.
DESCR O Descriptor of the applicable segment.
SEGID O Identifier of the applicable segment.
FOUND O .TRUE. if a segment was found.
Detailed_Input
None.
Detailed_Output
HANDLE is an integer handle of the file containing the
segment matching the instrument and time
specifications made in the last call to CKBSS.
DESCR,
SEGID are the descriptor and identifier of the segment found
which matches the instrument and time specifications
made in the last call to CKBSS.
FOUND is .TRUE. if an applicable segment was found, .FALSE.
otherwise. If FOUND is .FALSE., the values of the
other arguments are meaningless.
Parameters
None.
Exceptions
1) If CKSNS is called without CKBSS ever having been called,
the error SPICE(CALLCKBSSFIRST) is signaled.
2) If no segment is found that matches the search criteria,
FOUND is set to .FALSE., but the values of HANDLE, DESCR,
and SEGID will be meaningless.
Files
All files loaded by CKLPF are potential search targets for
CKSNS. The files are all referred to by their integer handles.
Particulars
CKSNS is used to locate segments based on the search criteria
established by the most recent call to CKBSS. When a segment
is found it will have the following characteristics:
1) Its instrument will match the instrument specified in the
call to CKBSS.
2) Its time interval will intersect the time interval
[SCLKDP - TOL, SCLKDP + TOL],
where SCLKDP and TOL were specified in the call to CKBSS.
3) If there is a need for angular velocity data, as specified
by NEEDAV in the call to CKBSS, a returned segment
will contain angular velocity data. If there is no need
for such data, the returned segment may or may not contain
angular velocity data.
The first call to CKSNS following a call to CKBSS starts a search
through loaded files and either returns the first applicable
segment, or indicates that no segment was found.
CKSNS searches through last-loaded files first. Individual
files are searched backwards, so that segments that were inserted
last into the file get checked first.
Subsequent calls to CKSNS pick up the search exactly where the
previous calls left off. If a segment is not found, future calls
will also indicate that no segment could be found, until a new
search is begun.
CKSNS also buffers segment descriptors and identifiers, to
attempt to minimize file reads.
Examples
See $Examples in CKBSR.
Restrictions
1) This subroutine assumes that a search has been initiated by
a call to CKBSS.
2) When a CK file is loaded or unloaded, a new search must
be started via a call to CKBSS before this routine may
be called.

Version
SPICELIB Version 4.6.0, 13-OCT-2021 (JDR) (NJB)
Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard.
Relocated initialization of FOUND so it is always
executed, even if an error state is indicated by RETURN().
SPICELIB Version 4.5.1, 30-JAN-2017 (NJB)
Corrected various spelling errors within comments.
SPICELIB Version 4.5.0, 24-FEB-2011 (NJB)
Bug fix: in the 'MAKE ROOM' state, when the suspended activity
is 'ADD TO FRONT' and no segment table room is available, the
instrument table's pointer to the current segment list is now
set to null. Previously the pointer was allowed to go stale.
SPICELIB Version 4.2.0, 08-SEP-2005 (NJB)
Updated to remove non-standard use of duplicate arguments
in MOVED call.
SPICELIB Version 4.1.0, 20-NOV-2001 (NJB)
Bug fixes:
1) When a segment list is freed because the entire list
is contributed by a single CK file, and the list is
too large to be buffered, the corresponding instrument
table pointer is now set to null.
2) An algorithm change has eliminated a bug caused by not
updating the current instrument index when instrument
table entries having empty segment lists were compressed
out of the instrument table. Previously the instrument
table pointer IINDEX could go stale after the
compression.
3) DAF calls are now followed by tests of FAILED()
in order to ensure that the main state loop terminates.
The "re-use interval" feature was introduced to improve speed
in the case where repeated, consecutive requests are satisfied
by the same segment.
The segment list cost algorithm was modified slightly:
the contribution of a file search to the cost of a list
is included only when the file search is completed. The
cost of finding the re-use interval is accounted for when
unbuffered searches are required.
The file table size has been increased to 1000, in order
to take advantage of the DAF system's new ability to load
1000 files.
The instrument table size has been increased to 100 in order to
decrease the chance of thrashing due to swapping segment
lists for different bodies.
Various small updates and corrections were made to the
comments throughout the file.
SPICELIB Version 4.0.0, 17-FEB-2000 (WLT)
Added the Entry point CKHAVE.
SPICELIB Version 3.0.0, 03-MAR-1999 (WLT)
The parameter STSIZE was increased from 1000 to 4000 to
avoid the buffering error that exists in the CKBSR.
SPICELIB Version 1.1.1, 10-MAR-1992 (WLT)
Comment section for permuted index source lines was added
following the header.
SPICELIB Version 1.1.0, 01-NOV-1990 (JML)
A check on the initial value of the variable STATUS
was added in order to detect the situation in which
CKBSS was never called to initiate a search.
SPICELIB Version 1.0.0, 07-SEP-1990 (RET) (IMU)
