VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
NAME I Name of the variable whose value is to be returned.
START I Which component to start retrieving for NAME
ROOM I The largest number of values to return.
N O Number of values returned for NAME.
IVALS O Values associated with NAME.
FOUND O .TRUE. if variable is in pool.
Detailed_Input
NAME is the name of the variable whose values are to be
returned. If the variable is not in the pool with
numeric type, FOUND will be .FALSE.
START is the index of the first component of NAME to return.
If START is less than 1, it will be treated as 1. If
START is greater than the total number of components
available for NAME, no values will be returned (N will
be set to zero). However, FOUND will still be set to
.TRUE.
ROOM is the maximum number of components that should be
returned for this variable. (Usually it is the amount
of ROOM available in the array IVALS). If ROOM is
less than 1 the error SPICE(BADARRAYSIZE) will be
signaled.
Detailed_Output
N is the number of values associated with NAME that
are returned. It will always be less than or equal
to ROOM.
If NAME is not in the pool with numeric type, no value
is given to N.
IVALS is the array of values associated with NAME. Any
numeric value having non-zero fractional part is
rounded to the closest integer. If NAME is not in the
pool or does not have numeric type, no values are
assigned to the elements of IVALS.
FOUND is .TRUE. if the variable is in the pool and has numeric
type, .FALSE. if it is not.
Parameters
None.
Exceptions
1) If the value of ROOM is less than one, the error
SPICE(BADARRAYSIZE) is signaled.
2) If a value requested is outside the valid range
of integers, the error SPICE(INTOUTOFRANGE) is signaled.
Files
None.
Particulars
This routine provides the user interface for retrieving
integer data stored in the kernel pool. This interface
allows you to retrieve the data associated with a variable
in multiple accesses. Under some circumstances this alleviates
the problem of having to know in advance the maximum amount
of space needed to accommodate all kernel variables.
However, this method of access does come with a price. It is
always more efficient to retrieve all of the data associated
with a kernel pool data in one call than it is to retrieve
it in sections.
See also the entry points GDPOOL and GCPOOL.
Examples
The following code fragment demonstrates how the data stored
in a kernel pool variable can be retrieved in pieces.
First we need some declarations.
INTEGER ROOM
PARAMETER ( ROOM = 3 )
CHARACTER*(8) VARNAM
CHARACTER*(3) INDENT
INTEGER START
INTEGER N
LOGICAL FOUND
INTEGER IVALS(ROOM)
Next load the data in the file 'typical.ker' into the
kernel pool.
CALL LDPOOL ( 'typical.ker' )
Next we shall print the values stored for the kernel pool
variable 'MYDATA'
VARNAM = 'MYDATA'
INDENT = ' '
START = 1
CALL GIPOOL ( VARNAM, START, ROOM, N, IVALS, FOUND )
IF ( .NOT. FOUND )
WRITE (*,*) 'There is no numeric data available for MYDATA.'
ELSE
WRITE (*,*) 'Values for MYDATA.'
WRITE (*,*)
DO I = 1, N
WRITE (*,*) INDENT, IVALS(I)
END DO
DO WHILE ( N .EQ. ROOM )
START = START + N
CALL GIPOOL ( VARNAM, START, ROOM, N, IVALS, FOUND )
DO I = 1, N
WRITE (*,*) INDENT, IVALS(I)
END DO
END DO
END IF
Restrictions
None.

Version
SPICELIB Version 8.1.2, 17-AUG-2021 (JDR)
Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard.
SPICELIB Version 8.1.1, 14-JUL-2014 (NJB)
Updated description of IVALS in $Detailed_Output
header section.
SPICELIB Version 8.1.0, 19-MAR-2009 (NJB)
ZZPINI call was updated for compatibility
with new watcher system implementation.
SPICELIB Version 8.0.1, 22-DEC-2004 (NJB)
Corrected an in-line comment relating to finding the
head node of the conflict resolution list for NAME.
SPICELIB Version 8.0.0, 04-JUN-1999 (WLT)
Added the entry points PCPOOL, PDPOOL and PIPOOL to allow
direct insertion of data into the kernel pool without having
to read an external file.
Added the interface LMPOOL that allows SPICE
programs to load text kernels directly from memory
instead of requiring a text file.
Added the entry point SZPOOL to return kernel pool definition
parameters.
Added the entry point DVPOOL to allow the removal of a variable
from the kernel pool.
Added the entry point GNPOOL to allow users to determine
variables that are present in the kernel pool
SPICELIB Version 7.0.0, 20-SEP-1995 (WLT)
The implementation of the kernel pool was completely redone
to improve performance in loading and fetching data. In
addition the pool was upgraded so that variables may be
either string or numeric valued.
The entry points GCPOOL, GDPOOL, GIPOOL and DTPOOL were added
to the routine.
