Description:
This function stores a set of FITS header cards in a
FitsChan. The cards are
supplied concatenated together into a single character string. Any existing
cards in the FitsChan are removed before the new cards are added. The FitsChan
is
"
re-wound
"
on exit by clearing its
Card attribute. This means that a
subsequent invocation of
astRead can be made immediately without the need
to re-wind the FitsChan first.
Synopsis
void astPutCards( AstFitsChan
∗this, const
char ∗cards
)
Parameters:
this
Pointer to the FitsChan.
cards
Pointer to a null-terminated
character string containing the FITS cards to be stored. Each individual card should
occupy 80 characters in this string, and there should be no delimiters, new lines, etc,
between adjacent cards. The final card may be less than 80 characters long. This is the
format produced by the fits_hdr2str function in the CFITSIO library.
