   void spkpvn_c ( SpiceInt             handle,

Abstract

   Return, for a specified SPK segment and time, the state (position
   and velocity) of the segment's target body relative to its center
   of motion.

Brief_I/O

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   handle     I   File handle.
   descr      I   Segment descriptor.
   et         I   Evaluation epoch.
   ref        O   Segment reference frame ID code.
   state      O   Output state vector.
   center     O   Center of state.

Detailed_Input

   handle,
   descr       are, respectively, the file handle assigned to a SPK
               file and the descriptor for a segment within the file.
               Together they determine the ephemeris data from which
               the state of the body is to be computed.

   et          is the epoch (ephemeris time) at which the state
               is to be computed. `et' is expressed as seconds
               past J2000 TDB.

Detailed_Output

   ref         is the ID code of the reference frame relative to which
               the state returned by the routine is expressed.

   state       contains the position and velocity, at epoch `et',
               for the body covered by the specified segment.
               `state' has six elements: the first three contain the
               body's position; the last three contain the body's
               velocity. These vectors are expressed into the
               specified  reference frame. Units are always km and
               km/sec.

   center      is the integer ID code of the center of motion for
               the state.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the segment type is not supported by the current
       version of spkpvn_c, the error SPICE(SPKTYPENOTSUPP)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   See argument `handle'.

Particulars

   For most user applications, the high-level SPK APIs

      spkezr_c
      spkez_c
      spkpos_c
      spkezp_c

   should be used instead of this routine.

   The f2c'd routine spkpvn_ called by spkpvn_c is the most basic of
   the SPK readers, the reader upon which spkezr_c and spkgeo_c, etc.
   are built. spkpvn_c normally should not be called directly except in
   cases where some optimization is required. (That is, where the
   calling program has prior knowledge of the center-barycenter shifts
   to be performed, or a non-standard method of determining the files
   and segments to be used when computing states.)

   This is the only reader that makes distinctions between the
   various segment types in the SPK format. The complete list
   of types currently supported is shown below.

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) In the following code example, an SPK file is searched for
      a segment containing ephemeris data for the Jupiter system
      barycenter at a particular epoch. Using this segment,
      states of the Jupiter system barycenter relative to the
      solar system barycenter are evaluated at a sequence of times.

      This method of state computation minimizes the number of
      segment searches required to obtain requested data, but
      it bypasses the SPK subsystem's state chaining mechanism.

      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:
