- Abstract
Deprecated: This routine has been superseded by bodvcd_c and
bodvrd_c. This routine is supported for purposes of backward
compatibility only.
Return the values of some item for any body in the
kernel pool.

VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
body I ID code of body.
item I Item for which values are desired. ("RADII",
"NUT_PREC_ANGLES", etc. )
dim O Number of values returned.
values O Values.
- Detailed_Input
body is the ID code of the body for which ITEM is
requested. Bodies are numbered according to the
standard NAIF numbering scheme.
item is the item to be returned. Together, the body and
item name combine to form a variable name, e.g.,
"BODY599_RADII"
"BODY401_POLE_RA"
- Detailed_Output
dim is the number of values associated with the variable.
values are the values associated with the variable.
- Parameters
None.
- Particulars
None.
- Examples
The call
SpiceInt body;
SpiceInt dim;
SpiceChar * item;
SpiceDouble value[10];
body = 399;
item = "RADII";
bodvar_c ( body, item, &dim, value );
returns the dimension and values associated with the variable
"BODY399_RADII", for example,
dim is 3
value[0] is 6378.140
value[1] is 6378.140
value[2] is 6356.755
- Restrictions
1) If the requested item is not found, the error
SPICE(KERNELVARNOTFOUND) is signalled.
- Exceptions
Error free.
- Files
None.

- Version
-CSPICE Version 2.0.3, 27-OCT-2005 (NJB)
Routine is now deprecated.
-CSPICE Version 2.0.2, 08-JAN-2004 (EDW)
Trivial typo corrected.
-CSPICE Version 2.0.1, 08-FEB-1998 (EDW)
Corrected and clarified header entries.
-CSPICE Version 2.0.0, 06-JAN-1998 (NJB)
Input argument item was changed to type ConstSpiceChar *.
References to C2F_CreateStr_Sig were removed; code was
cleaned up accordingly. String checks are now done using
the macro CHKFSTR.
