Procedure

   ckopn_c ( CK, open new file. ) 

   void ckopn_c (  ConstSpiceChar   * fname,
                   ConstSpiceChar   * ifname,
                   SpiceInt           ncomch,
                   SpiceInt         * handle  )

Abstract

   Open a new CK file, returning the handle of the opened file.

Required_Reading

   None.

Keywords

   CK


Brief_I/O

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   fname      I   The name of the CK file to be opened.
   ifname     I   The internal filename for the CK.
   ncomch     I   The number of characters to reserve for comments.
   handle     O   The handle of the opened CK file.

Detailed_Input

   fname       The name of the CK file to be opened.

   ifname      The internal filename for the CK file that is being
               created. The internal filename may be up to 60 characters
               long. If you do not have any conventions for tagging your
               files, an internal filename of "CK_file" is perfectly
               acceptable. You may also leave it blank if you like.

   ncomch      This is the space, measured in characters, to be
               initially set aside for the comment area when a new CK
               file is opened. The amount of space actually set aside
               may be greater than the amount requested, due to the
               manner in which comment records are allocated in an CK
               file. However, the amount of space set aside for comments
               will always be at least the amount that was requested.

               The value of ncomch should be greater than or equal to
               zero, i.e., 0 <= ncomch. A negative value, should one
               occur, will be assumed to be zero.

Detailed_Output

   handle      The handle of the opened CK file. If an error occurs the
               value of this variable will not represent a valid handle.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the value of `ncomch' is negative, a value of zero (0) will
       be used for the number of comment characters to be set aside
       for comments.

   2)  If an error occurs while attempting to open a CK file the
       value of `handle' will not represent a valid file handle.

   3)  If any of the `fname' or `ifname' input string pointers is
       null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   4)  If any of the `fname' or `ifname' input strings has zero
       length, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

Files

   See fname and handle.

Particulars

   Open a new CK file, reserving room for comments if requested.

   A ckcls_c call should balance every ckopn_c call.

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 a CK type 3 segment; fill with data for a simple time
      dependent rotation and angular velocity, and reserve room in
      the CK comments area for 5000 characters.

      When this program is executed, no output is presented on
