void frmnam_c ( SpiceInt frcode,
SpiceInt lenout,
SpiceChar * frname )
Retrieve the name of a reference frame associated with
a SPICE ID code.
None.
FRAMES
VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
frcode I an integer code for a reference frame
lenout I Maximum length of output string.
frname O the name associated with the reference frame.
frcode is an integer code for a reference frame.
lenout is the maximum number of characters that can be
accommodated in the output string. This count
includes room for the terminating null character.
For example, if the maximum allowed length of the
output string, including the terminating null, is 33
characters, then lenout should be set to 33.
frname is the name associated with the reference frame.
It will be returned left-justified.
If frcode is not recognized as the name of a
known reference frame, frname will be returned
as an empty string.
If frname is not sufficiently long to hold the
name, it will be truncated on the right.
All reference frame names are 32 or fewer characters
in length. Thus declaring frname to be SpiceChar[33]
will ensure that the returned name will not be
truncated.
None.
1) If frcode is not recognized as the name of a known reference
frame, frname will be returned as a blank.
2) If the output string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
is signaled.
3) If the output string has length less than two characters, it
is too short to contain one character of output data plus a null
terminator, so it cannot be passed to the underlying Fortran
routine. In this event, the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is
signaled.
4) If the length of frname (indicated by lenout) is at least two
characters but not large enough to contain the output string,
the output string will be truncated on the right.
None.
This routine retrieves the name of a reference frame associated
with a SPICE frame ID code.
The ID codes stored locally are scanned for a match with frcode.
If a match is found, the name stored locally will be returned
as the name for the frame.
If frcode is not a member of the list of internally stored
ID codes, the kernel pool will be examined to see if the
variable
FRAME_idcode_NAME
is present (where idcode is the decimal character equivalent
of frcode). If the variable is located and it has both
character type and dimension 1, the string value of the
kernel pool variable is returned as the name of the reference
frame.
Note that because the local information is always examined
first and searches of the kernel pool are performed only
after exhausting local information, it is not possible to
override the local name for any reference frame that is
known by this routine.
Suppose you needed to create a message concerning a reference
frame and wish to use the name of the frame in the message.
Suppose further that you have only the frame ID code at your
disposal. You can capture the frame name using this routine
as shown here.

-CSPICE Version 1.0.3, 12-JUL-2016 (EDW)
Edit to example program to use "%d" with explicit casts
to int for printing SpiceInts with printf.
-CSPICE Version 1.0.2, 08-JAN-2014 (BVS)
Fixed typo in Examples (frname_c -> frmnam_c). Reordered
header sections.
-CSPICE Version 1.0.1, 26-MAR-2003 (NJB)
Fixed description of exception (4): replaced "lenout-1"
with "lenout." Removed spurious word "clock" from string
description.
