astPutCardsastPutCards
-
Store a set of FITS header cards in a FitsChan
- Description:
- This function
stores a set of FITS header cards in a FitsChanFitsChan. 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 CardCard
attribute. This means that a subsequent invocation of
astReadastRead
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.
- Notes:
- An error will result if the supplied string contains any cards
which cannot be interpreted.
