Detailed_Input

   handle      is the file handle of an SPK file that has been
               opened for writing.

   body        is the NAIF integer code for an ephemeris object
               whose state relative to another body is described
               by the segment to be created.

   center      is the NAIF integer code for the center of motion
               of the object identified by body.

   frame       is the NAIF name for a reference frame
               relative to which the state information for body
               is specified.

   first,
   last        are, respectively, the start and stop times of
               the time interval over which the segment defines
               the state of body.

   segid       is the segment identifier. An SPK segment
               identifier may contain up to 40 characters.

   degree      is the degree of the Lagrange polynomials used to
               interpolate the states. All components of the
               state vectors are interpolated by polynomials of
               fixed degree.

   n           is the number of states in the input state vector
               array.

   states      contains a time-ordered array of geometric states
               ( x, y, z, dx/dt, dy/dt, dz/dt, in kilometers and
               kilometers per second ) of body relative to center,
               specified relative to frame.

   begtim      is the epoch corresponding to the first state in
               the state array. Because extra states are needed
               at the beginning and end of the segment in order
               for the interpolation method to work, begtim will
               normally precede first.

   step        is the time step separating the epochs of adjacent
               states in the input state array. step is specified
               in seconds.

Detailed_Output

   None. See -Particulars for a description of the effect of this
   routine.

Parameters

   The parameters below are declared in the Fortran include file
   spk08.inc, which is part of the Fortran SPICE Toolkit (aka
   SPICELIB). The values of those parameters are used in CSPICE code
   generated by running f2c on SPICELIB source code. They are not
   directly referenced by code in this module.

      MAXDEG         is the maximum allowed degree of the interpolating
                     polynomial.

                     The value of MAXDEG is 27.


      TOLSCL         is a tolerance scale factor (also called a
                     "relative tolerance") used for time coverage bound
                     checking. TOLSCL is unitless. TOLSCL produces a
                     tolerance value via the formula

                        TOL = TOLSCL * max( abs(first), abs(last) )

                     where `first' and `last' are the coverage time
                     bounds of a type 8 segment, expressed as seconds
                     past J2000 TDB.

                     The resulting parameter TOL is used as a tolerance
                     for comparing the input segment descriptor time
                     bounds to the first and last epoch covered by the
                     sequence of time intervals defined by the inputs
                     to spkw08_c:

                        begtim
                        step
                        n

                     The value of TOLSCL is 1.e-13.

Exceptions

   If any of the following exceptions occur, this routine will return
   without creating a new segment.

   1)  If `frame' is not a recognized name, the error
       SPICE(INVALIDREFFRAME) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   2)  If the last non-blank character of `segid' occurs past index 40,
       the error SPICE(SEGIDTOOLONG) is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

   3)  If `segid' contains any nonprintable characters, the error
       SPICE(NONPRINTABLECHARS) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   4)  If `degree' is not at least 1 or is greater than MAXDEG, the
       error SPICE(INVALIDDEGREE) is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

   5)  If the number of states `n' is not at least degree+1, the error
       SPICE(TOOFEWSTATES) is signaled by a routine in the call tree
       of this routine.

   6)  If `first' is greater than `last', the error SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   7)  If `step' is non-positive, the error SPICE(INVALIDSTEPSIZE) is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   8)  If the start time of the first record exceeds the descriptor
       begin time by more than a computed tolerance, or if the end
       time of the last record precedes the descriptor end time by
       more than a computed tolerance, the error SPICE(COVERAGEGAP)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine. See
       the -Parameters section above for a description of the
       tolerance.

   9)  If any of the `frame' or `segid' input string pointers is
       null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   10) If any of the `frame' or `segid' input strings has zero
       length, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

Files

   A new type 8 SPK segment is written to the SPK file attached
   to handle.

Particulars

   This routine writes an SPK type 08 data segment to the open SPK
   file according to the format described in the type 08 section of
   the SPK Required Reading. The SPK file must have been opened with
   write access.

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) This example demonstrates how to create an SPK type 8 kernel
      containing only one segment, given a time-ordered set of
      discrete states and epochs.

Version

   -CSPICE Version 2.1.0, 10-AUG-2021 (JDR)

       Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added
       complete example code from existing fragment.

       Changed the input argument name "epoch1" to "begtim" for
       consistency with other routines.

   -CSPICE Version 2.0.0, 11-JAN-2014 (NJB)

       Relaxed test on relationship between the time bounds of the
       input record set (determined by `begtim', `step', and `n') and
       the descriptor bounds `first' and `last'. Now the descriptor
       bounds may extend beyond the time bounds of the record set by a
       ratio computed using the parameter TOLSCL (see -Parameters above
       for details). Added checks on input polynomial degree.
