Procedure

   void scard_c (  SpiceInt      card,   
                   SpiceCell   * cell  )

Abstract

Brief_I/O

 
   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION 
   --------  ---  -------------------------------------------------- 
   card       I   Cardinality of (number of elements in) the cell. 
   cell       O   The cell. 
 

Detailed_Input

 
   card         is the cardinality of (number of elements in) the 
                cell. 
 

Detailed_Output

 
   cell         is a SpiceCell of any data type. On output, the
                cardinality of the cell is card.  The data portion of
                the cell is left unchanged.
 
                If the cardinality is set to zero, the cell becomes a
                CSPICE set:  the cell's "is a set?" attribute becomes
                true.  The cell then can be used as an input to the
                CSPICE set routines such as insrt*_c.

Parameters

 
   None. 
 

Exceptions

 
   1)  If the cardinality value supplied is less than 0 or greater 
       than the cell size, the error SPICE(INVALIDCARDINALITY) is 
       signaled. 
 

Files

 
   None. 
 

Particulars

 
   The set cardinality (scard_c) and set size (ssize_c) routines are
   typically used to initialize cells for subsequent use. 
 
   The set cardinality routines are also used by library routines 
   which manipulate cells (including set and window routines) to 
   reset the cardinalities of cells as they gain or lose elements. 
 

Examples

 
   1) Declare an integer cell.  Populate the cell, then reset
      the cardinality to zero to effectively make room in the 
      cell.

         #include "SpiceUsr.h"
               .
               .
               .

         #define SIZE          10

         Spiceint              i;

         /.
         Declare a cell with room for SIZE integers.
         ./
         SPICEINT_CELL         ( icell, SIZE );


         /.
         Fill in the cell with integers 0 through 9.
         ./

         for ( i = 0;  i < SIZE;  i++ )
         {
            appndi_c ( i, &icell );
         }
               .
               .
               .
         /.
         Make room in the cell.
         ./
         scard_c ( 0, &icell );
               .
               .
               .
