Description:
This
function stores a FITS header card in a
FitsChan. The card is either inserted
before the current card (identified by the
Card attribute), or over-writes
the current card, as required.
Synopsis
void astPutFits( AstFitsChan
this,
const char card[ 80 ], int overwrite )
Parameters:
this
Pointer to the FitsChan.
card
Pointer to a possibly null-terminated character string containing the FITS
card to be stored. No more than 80 characters will be used from this string (or fewer
if a null occurs earlier).
overwrite
If this value is zero, the new card is
inserted in front of the current card in the FitsChan (as identified by the initial
value of the Card attribute). If it is non-zero, the new card replaces the
current card. In either case, the Card attribute is then incremented by one so
that it subsequently identifies the card following the one stored.
Notes:
-
If the Card attribute initially points at the "
end-of-file"
(i.e. exceeds the number
of cards in the FitsChan), then the new card is appended as the last card in the
FitsChan.
-
An error will result if the supplied string cannot be interpreted as a FITS header
card.
