Detailed Description

Function wcstab(), which is invoked automatically by wcspih(), sets up an array of wtbarr structs to assist in extracting coordinate lookup tables from a binary table extension (BINTABLE) and copying them into the tabprm structs stored in wcsprm. Refer to the usage notes for wcspih() and wcstab() in wcshdr.h, and also the prologue to tab.h.

For C++ usage, because of a name space conflict with the wtbarr typedef defined in CFITSIO header fitsio.h, the wtbarr struct is renamed to wtbarr_s by preprocessor macro substitution with scope limited to wcs.h itself.
