Abstract


   CSPICE_DLAFNS finds the segment following a specified segment in a
   DLA file.

I/O


   Given:

      handle   the DAS integer handle associated with the file to be
               searched.

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

               This handle is used to identify the file in
               subsequent calls to other DLA or DAS routines.

      dladsc   the descriptor of the a DLA segment in the file
               associated with `handle'.

               [SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ,1] = size(dladsc); int32 = class(dladsc)

   the call:

      [nxtdsc, found] = cspice_dlafns( handle, dladsc )

   returns:

      nxtdsc   the descriptor of the next DLA segment following the
               segment associated with the input argument `descr'.

               [SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ,1] = size(nxtdsc); int32 = class(nxtdsc)

               `nxtdsc' is valid only if the output argument `found'
               is true.

      found    a logical flag indicating whether the next segment was
               found.

               [1,1] = size(found); logical = class(found)

               `found' has the value true if the segment
               was found; otherwise `found' is false.

Parameters


   SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ

               is the size of a SPICELIB DLA descriptor, defined in
               MiceDLA.m.

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) 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.


      function dlafns_ex1( )

         MiceUser

         %
         % Prompt for the name of the file to search.
         %
         fname = input( 'Name of DLA file > ', 's' );

         %
         % Open the DSK file for read access.
         % We use the DAS-level interface for
         % this function.
         %
         handle = cspice_dasopr( fname );

         %
         % Begin a forward search through the
         % kernel, treating the file as a DLA.
         % In this example, it's a very short
         % search.
         %
         segno = 1;

         [dladsc, found] = cspice_dlabfs( handle );

         while  found

            %
            % Display the contents of the current segment
            % descriptor.

                                       dladsc(SPICE_DLA_CBSIDX) )

                                       dladsc(SPICE_DLA_CSZIDX) )
            fprintf('\n')
            %
            % Find the next segment.
            %
            current = dladsc;
            segno = segno + 1;

            [dladsc, found] = cspice_dlafns( handle, current );

         end

         %
         % Close file.
         %
         cspice_dascls( handle )


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/Octave5.x/64-bit
      platform, using the DSK file named phobos_3_3.bds, the output
      was:


      Name of DLA file > phobos_3_3.bds


      Segment number = 1

         Backward segment pointer         = -1
         Forward segment pointer          = -1
         Integer component base address   = 11
         Integer component size           = 3311271
         D.p. component base address      = 0
         D.p. component size              = 494554
         Character component base address = 0
         Character component size         = 0


Particulars


   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. A forward traversal may be started from any segment in
   the file; it is not necessary to call cspice_dlabfs first. The role
   of cspice_dlabfs is simply to return the descriptor of the first
   segment in the file.

Exceptions


   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 descriptor is invalid, this routine will
       fail in an unpredictable manner.

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

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