cnfImpch

Import a FORTRAN string into a C array of char.

Description:

Import a FORTRAN string into a C array of char, copying ‘nchars’ characters. No characters, are special so this may be used to import an HDS locator which could contain any character.

Invocation

cnfImprt( source_f, nchars, dest_c )

Arguments

const char ∗source_f (Given)
A pointer to the input FORTRAN string
int nchars (Given)
The number of characters to be copied from source_f to dest_c
char ∗dest_c (Returned via pointer)
A pointer to the C array of char

Notes:

No check is made that there is sufficient space allocated to the C array to hold the FORTRAN string. It is the responsibility of the programmer to check this.
