Description:
This routine 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.
Invocation
CALL AST_PUTFITS( THIS, CARD, OVERWRITE,
STATUS )
Arguments
THIS = INTEGER (Given)
Pointer to the FitsChan.
CARD = CHARACTER
∗ ( 80 )
(Given)
A character string string containing the FITS card to be stored. No more than 80 characters
will be used from this string.
OVERWRITE = LOGICAL (Given)
If this value is .FALSE., 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 .TRUE., 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.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
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.
