   pool.

   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   name       I   Name of the variable whose value is to be returned.
   found      O   True when the variable is in the pool.

Detailed_Input

   name       is the name of the variable whose values are to be
              returned.

Detailed_Output

   found      is true whenever the specified variable is included
              in the pool.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1) If the input string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
      will be signaled.

   2) If the input string has length zero, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING)
      will be signaled

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This routine determines whether or not a numeric kernel pool
   variable exists.  It does not detect the existence of
   string valued kernel pool variables.

   A better routine for determining the existence of kernel pool
   variables is  dtpool_ which determines the
   existence, size and type of kernel pool variables.

Examples

   expool_c (  "BODY399_RADII", &found  );

    if ( found )
       {
        printf(  "BODY399_RADII is present in the kernel pool\n");
       }

Version

   -CSPICE Version 1.2.0 22-JUN-1999   (EDW)

      Added local variable to return boolean/logical values.  This
      fix allows the routine to function if int and long are different
      sizes.

   -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 08-FEB-1998 (NJB)

      Re-implemented routine without dynamically allocated, temporary
      strings.

   -CSPICE Version 1.0.0, 25-OCT-1997   (EDW)
