Subroutine: IRDS_ENQUIRE Purpose: returns some basic info about an existing IRDS File: irds_basic.c Author: Do Kester Use: CALL IRDS_ENQUIRE( IRDS, I character*(*) OBJECT, O character*(*) INSTRU, O character*(*) NAXIS, O integer AXES, O integer array (naxis) CENTER, O double array (2) SIZE, O double array (2) COOR, O character*(*) EPOCHE, O real STATUS ) O integer IRDS name of (existing) irds to open OBJECT object identification INSTRU instrument identification NAXIS the number of axes of the IRDS AXES length of the axes of the irds (fast to slow) CENTER longitude & latitude of custum plate center SIZE of custom plate in lon & lat direction COOR coordinate system identification EPOCHE the epoche of the coordinate system if applicable STATUS 0 : OK. -1 : the irds does not exist -2 : not enough axes exist -3 : instru is missing -4 : center is missing -5 : size is missing -6 : coor is missing -7 : object is missing -8 : epoche is missing Description: irds_enquire tests whether a given irds exists and if so it returns information on the instrument, on the length of the axes in order fast to slow, on the center and the size of the custom plate and on the coordinate system these value are given in. Both the instrument and the coordinate system are coded strings. (see IRDS_CREATE) Externals: gds_exist Updates: 23/02/90 DK, document creation 16/10/90 DK, documentation update
