Brief_I/O

 
   Variable  I/O  Description 
   --------  ---  -------------------------------------------------- 
   pck        I   Name of PCK file. 
   idcode     I   Class ID code of PCK reference frame. 
   cover     I/O  Window giving coverage in `pck' for `idcode'. 
 

Detailed_Input

 
   pck            is the name of a binary PCK file.
 
   idcode         is the integer frame class ID code of a PCK reference
                  frame for which data are expected to exist in the
                  specified PCK file.
 
   cover          is an initialized CSPICE window data structure.
                  `cover' optionally may contain coverage data on
                  input; on output, the data already present in `cover'
                  will be combined with coverage found for the
                  reference frame designated by `idcode' in the file
                  `pck'.
 
                  If `cover' contains no data on input, its size and
                  cardinality still must be initialized.
                   

Detailed_Output

 
   cover          is a CSPICE window data structure which represents
                  the merged coverage for the reference frame having
                  frame class ID `idcode'. This is the set of time
                  intervals for which data for `idcode' are present in
                  the file `pck', merged with the set of time intervals
                  present in `cover' on input.  The merged coverage is
                  represented as the union of one or more disjoint time
                  intervals. The window `cover' contains the pairs of
                  endpoints of these intervals.
 
                  The interval endpoints contained in `cover' are 
                  ephemeris times, expressed as seconds past J2000 
                  TDB. 
 
                  See the Examples section below for a complete 
                  example program showing how to retrieve the 
                  endpoints from `cover'. 
                                     

Parameters

 
   None. 
 

Exceptions

 
   1)  If the input file has transfer format, the error  
       SPICE(INVALIDFORMAT) is signaled. 
 
   2)  If the input file is not a transfer file but has architecture 
       other than DAF, the error SPICE(BADARCHTYPE) is signaled. 
 
   3)  If the input file is a binary DAF file of type other than 
       PCK, the error SPICE(BADFILETYPE) is signaled. 
 
   4)  If the PCK file cannot be opened or read, the error will 
       be diagnosed by routines called by this routine. The output 
       window will not be modified. 
 
   5)  If the size of the output window argument COVER is 
       insufficient to contain the actual number of intervals in the 
       coverage window for IDCODE, the error will be diagnosed by 
       routines called by this routine.   
 
   6)  The error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled if the input
       string `pck' does not contain at least one character, since the
       input string cannot be converted to a Fortran-style string in
       this case.
      
   7)  The error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled if the input string
       pointer `pck' is null.

Files

 
   This routine reads a PCK file. 
 

Particulars

 
   This routine provides an API via which applications can determine 
   the coverage a specified PCK file provides for a specified 
   PCK class reference frame. 
 

Examples

 
   1)  This example demonstrates combined usage of pckcov_c and the 
       related PCK utility pckfrm_c. 
 
       Display the coverage for each object in a specified PCK file. 
       Find the set of objects in the file; for each object, find 
       and display the coverage.

            for `idcode', if any, to the coverage window.

               format time strings and display them.
