SpiceInt lstltc_c ( ConstSpiceChar * string,
SpiceInt n,
SpiceInt lenvals,
const void * array )
Given a character string and an ordered array of character
strings, find the index of the largest array element less than
the given string.
None.
SEARCH, ARRAY
VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
string I Upper bound value to search against.
n I Number elements in array.
lenvals I String length.
array I Array of possible lower bounds.
The function returns the index of the last element of array that
is lexically less than string.
string is a string acting as an upper bound: the array element
that is lexically the greatest element less than string
is to be found. Trailing blanks in this bound value are
not significant.
n is the dimension of the array.
lenvals is the declared length of the strings in the input
string array, including null terminators. The input
array should be declared with dimension
[n][lenvals]
array is the array of character strings to be searched.
Trailing blanks in the strings in this array are not
significant. The strings must be sorted in
non-decreasing order. The elements of array need not be
distinct.
The function returns the index of the highest-indexed element in the
input array that is lexically less than string. The routine assumes
the array elements are sorted in non-decreasing order.
If all elements of the input array are greater than or equal to the
specified upper bound string, the function returns -1.
None.
1) If ndim < 1 the function value is -1. This is not considered
an error.
2) If input key value pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) will
be signaled. The function returns -1.
3) The input key value may have length zero. This case is not
considered an error.
4) If the input array pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) will
be signaled. The function returns -1.
5) If the input array string's length is less than 2, the error
SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) will be signaled. The function returns -1.
None.
Note: If you need to find the first element of the array that
is greater than or equal to string, simply add 1 to the
result returned by this function and check to see if the
result is within the array bounds given by n.
Let array be a character array of dimension
[5][lenvals]
which contains the following elements:
"BOHR"
"EINSTEIN"
"FEYNMAN"
"GALILEO"
"NEWTON"
Then
lstltc_c ( "NEWTON", 5, lenvals, array ) == 3
lstltc_c ( "EINSTEIN", 5, lenvals, array ) == 0
lstltc_c ( "GALILEO", 5, lenvals, array ) == 2
lstltc_c ( "Galileo", 5, lenvals, array ) == 3
lstltc_c ( "BETHE", 5, lenvals, array ) == -1
1) The input array is assumed to be sorted in increasing order. If
this condition is not met, the results of bsrchc_c are unpredictable.
2) String comparisons performed by this routine are Fortran-style:
trailing blanks in the input array or key value are ignored.
This gives consistent behavior with CSPICE code generated by
the f2c translator, as well as with the Fortran SPICE Toolkit.
Note that this behavior is not identical to that of the ANSI
C library functions strcmp and strncmp.
None.
