CSPICE_DLABFS begins a forward segment search in a DLA file.
Given:
handle the DAS integer handle associated with the file to be
searched. This handle is used to identify the file in
subsequent calls to other DLA or DAS routines.
[1,1] = size(handle); int32 = class(handle)
the call:
[dladsc, found] = cspice_dlabfs( handle )
returns:
dladsc the descriptor of the first DLA segment in the file
associated with `handle'. `dladsc' is valid only if the
output argument `found' is true.
[SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ,1] = size(dladsc); int32 = class(dladsc)
found a logical flag indicating whether a segment was found.
`found' has the value true if a segment was found;
otherwise `found' is false.
[1,1] = size(found); logical = class(found)
SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ
is the size of a SPICELIB DLA descriptor, defined in
MiceDLA.m.
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) Open a DLA file for read access, traverse the segment
list from front to back, and display segment address
and size attributes.
Example code begins here.

When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/Octave5.x/64-bit
platform, using the DSK file named phobos512.bds, the output
was:
Name of DLA file > phobos512.bds
Segment number = 1
Backward segment pointer = -1
Forward segment pointer = -1
Integer component base address = 11
Integer component size = 29692614
D.p. component base address = 0
D.p. component size = 4737076
Character component base address = 0
Character component size = 0
DLA files are built using the DAS low-level format; DLA files are
a specialized type of DAS file in which data are organized as a
doubly linked list of segments. Each segment's data belong to
contiguous components of character, double precision, and integer
type.
This routine supports forward traversal of a DLA file's segment
list. Note that it is not necessary to call this routine to
conduct a forward traversal; all that is necessary is to have
access to the first descriptor in the file, which this routine
provides.
1) If the input file handle is invalid, an error is signaled by a
routine in the call tree of this routine.
2) If an error occurs while reading the DLA file, the error
is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
routine.
3) If the input argument `handle' is undefined, an error is
signaled by the Matlab error handling system.
4) If the input argument `handle' is not of the expected type, or
it does not have the expected dimensions and size, an error is
signaled by the Mice interface.
See description of input argument `handle'.
