Procedure

   void dafcls_c ( SpiceInt handle )

Abstract

   Close the DAF associated with a given handle.

Required_Reading

   DAF

Keywords

   DAF
   FILES


Brief_I/O

   Variable  I/O  Description
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   handle     I   Handle of DAF to be closed.

Detailed_Input

   handle      is the file handle of a previously opened DAF file.

Detailed_Output

   None.

Parameters

    None.

Exceptions

   1) If the specified handle is not known to the DAF subsystem
      (because it does not belong to a file opened via the DAF
      API), nothing happens.

   2) If this routine is used to close a file whose handle is
      known to the DAF subsystem, and if the file handle is
      attached to a non-DAF file, routines called by this
      routine signal an error.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   Because the DAF subsystem must keep track of what files are open at
   any given time, it is important that DAF files be closed only with
   dafcls_c, to prevent the remaining DAF routines from failing,
   sometimes mysteriously.

   Note that when a file is opened more than once for read access,
   dafopr_c returns the same handle each time it is re-opened.
   Each time the file is closed, dafcls_c checks to see if any other
   claims on the file are still active before physically closing
   the file.

Examples

   Example (1):

   In the following code fragment, the arrays in a file are examined in
   order to determine whether the file contains any arrays whose names
   begin with the word TEST. The complete names for these arrays are
   printed to the screen. The file is closed at the end of the search.

      #include "SpiceUsr.h"
          .
          .
          .
      dafopr_c ( fname, &handle );
      dafbfs_c ( handle );
      daffna_c ( &found );

      while ( found )
      {
         dafgn_c ( name );

         if (  strncmp( name, "TEST", 4 ) == 0  )
         {
            printf ( "%s\n", name );
         }
         daffna_c ( &found );
      }

      dafcls_c ( handle );


   Note that if the file has been opened already by a DAF routine
   at some other place in the calling program, it remains open.
   This makes it possible to examine files that have been opened for
   use by other modules without interfering with the operation of
   those routines.

   Example (2):

   Use a simple routine to output the double precision and integer
   values stored in an SPK's segments descriptors. This function
   opens a DAF for read, performs a forwards search for the DAF
   arrays, prints segments description for each array found, then
   closes the DAF.

      #include <stdio.h>
      #include "SpiceUsr.h"

      int main()
         {

         /.
         Local constants
         ./

         /.
         Define the summary parameters appropriate
         for an SPK file.
         ./

         #define ND              2
         #define NI              6
         #define MAXSUM          125

         SpiceInt                ic  [ NI ];
         SpiceInt                handle;

         SpiceDouble             dc  [ ND ];
         SpiceDouble             sum [ MAXSUM ];

         SpiceChar             * kernel = "de421.bsp";

         SpiceBoolean            found;


         /.
         Open a DAF for read. Return a handle referring to the file.
         ./
         dafopr_c ( kernel, &handle );

         /.
         Begin a forward search on the file.
         ./
         dafbfs_c ( handle );

         /.
         Search until a DAF array is found.
         ./
         daffna_c ( &found );

         /.
         Loop while the search finds subsequent DAF arrays.
         ./
         while ( found )
            {

            dafgs_c ( sum );
            dafus_c ( sum, ND, NI, dc, ic );

            printf( " Doubles: %f %f \n", dc[0], dc[1] );
            printf( "Integers: %d %d %d %d %d %d\n\n",
                       (int)ic[0], (int)ic[1], (int)ic[2],
                       (int)ic[3], (int)ic[4], (int)ic[5] );


            /.
            Check for another segment.
            ./
            daffna_c ( &found );
            }

         /.
         Safely close the DAF.
         ./
         dafcls_c ( handle  );

         return ( 0 );
         }

   The program outputs:

      Note, the final entries in the integer array contains the segment
      start/end indexes. The output indicates the search proceeded
