Abstract


   CSPICE_CKNR02 returns the number of pointing records in a CK type 02
   segment. The segment is identified by a CK file handle and segments
   descriptor.

I/O


   Given:

      handle   the handle of the binary CK file containing the segment.

               [1,1] = size(handle); int32 = class(handle)

               The file should have been opened for read or write access,
               by cspice_cklpf, cspice_dafopr or cspice_dafopw.

      descr    the packed descriptor of a data type 2 CK segment.

               [5,1] = size(descr); double = class(descr)

   the call:

      [nrec] = cspice_cknr02( handle, descr )

   returns:

      nrec     the number of pointing records in the type 2 segment
               associated with `handle' and `descr'.

               [1,1] = size(nrec); int32 = class(nrec)

Parameters


   None.

Examples


   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) The following code example extracts the start and end SCLK
      time, seconds per tick rate, platform's +Z axis direction,
      and angular velocity vector for each pointing instance in
      the first segment in a CK file that contains segments of data
      type 2.

      Use the CK kernel below, available in the Viking Orbiter PDS
      archives, as input for the code example.

         vo2_swu_ck2.bc

      Example code begins here.


      function cknr02_ex1()

         %
         % First load the file. (The file may also be opened by

         [handle] = cspice_dafopr( 'vo2_swu_ck2.bc' );

         %

         cspice_dafbfs( handle );
         [found] = cspice_daffna;

         %

         %
         % Unpack the segment descriptor into its double precision
         % and integer components.

         [dcd, icd] = cspice_dafgs( 2,   6   );
         [descr]    = cspice_dafps( dcd, icd );

               fprintf( '\n' )

            end

Particulars


   For a complete description of the internal structure of a type 2
   segment, see the CK required reading.

   This routine returns the number of pointing records contained
   in the specified segment. It is normally used in conjunction
   with cspice_ckgr02, which returns the Ith record in the segment.

Exceptions


   1)  If the segment indicated by `descr' is not a type 2 segment, the
       error SPICE(CKWRONGDATATYPE) is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

   2)  If the specified handle does not belong to any file that is
       currently known to be open, an error is signaled by a routine
       in the call tree of this routine.

   3)  If `descr' is not a valid descriptor of a segment in the CK
       file specified by `handle', the results of this routine are
       unpredictable.

   4)  If any of the input arguments, `handle' or `descr', is
       undefined, an error is signaled by the Matlab error handling
       system.

   5)  If any of the input arguments, `handle' or `descr', is not of
       the expected type, or it does not have the expected dimensions
       and size, an error is signaled by the Mice interface.

Files


   The CK file specified by `handle' should be open for read or write
   access.

Restrictions


   1)  The binary CK file containing the segment whose descriptor was
       passed to this routine must be opened for read or write access
       by cspice_cklpf, cspice_dafopr or cspice_dafopw.
