Library interface
*****************
A simple example program
========================
The following example program shows the typical usage of the |API| interface.
Other examples using the |API| interface can be found in the directory *examples* of the library sources.
.. include:: examples/simple_program.rst
.. _calcephpy:
|menu_Headers_and_Libraries|
============================
All declarations needed to use |LIBRARYNAME| are collected in the module files :file:`calceph.mod`. The library is designed to work with Fortran compilers compliant with the Fortran 2003 standard. All declarations use the standard **ISO_C_BINDING** module.
You should include that module in any program using the |LIBRARYSHORTNAME| library:
::
use calceph
When a fortran string is given as a parameter to a function of this library, you should append this string with **//C_NULL_CHAR** because the C library works only with C string.
.. highlight:: bash
Compilation on a Unix-like system
---------------------------------
All programs using |LIBRARYSHORTNAME| must link against the :file:`libcalceph` library. On Unix-like system this can be done with *-lcalceph*, for example
::
gfortran -I/usr/local/include myprogram.f -o myprogram -lcalceph
If |LIBRARYNAME| has been installed to a non-standard location then it may be necessary to use *-I* and *-L* compiler options to point to the right directories, and some sort of run-time path for a shared library.
Compilation on a Windows system
-------------------------------
All programs using |LIBRARYSHORTNAME| must link against the :file:`libcalceph.lib`. On Windows system this can be done with *libcalceph.lib*, for example
::
gfortran.exe /out:myprogram.exe myprogram.f libcalceph.lib
If |LIBRARYNAME| has been installed to a non-standard location then it may be necessary to use */I* and */LIBPATH:* compiler options to point to the right directories.

.. _`Constants`:
Constants
=========
The following constants are defined in the module :file:`calceph.mod`.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_MAX_CONSTANTNAME
:type: integer
This integer defines the maximum number of characters, including the trailing '\\0', that the name of a constant, available from the ephemeris file, could contain.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_MAX_CONSTANTVALUE
:type: integer
This integer defines the maximum number of characters, including the trailing '\\0', that the value of a constant, available from the ephemeris file, could contain if the value is stored as a string of characters.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_VERSION_MAJOR
:type: integer
This integer constant defines the major revision of this library. It can be used to distinguish different releases of this library.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_VERSION_MINOR
:type: integer
This integer constant defines the minor revision of this library. It can be used to distinguish different releases of this library.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_VERSION_PATCH
:type: integer
This integer constant defines the patch level revision of this library. It can be used to distinguish different releases of this library.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_VERSION_STRING
:type: character(len=*)
This string is the version of the library, which can be compared to the result of calceph_getversion to check at run time if the header file and library used match:
Note: Obtaining different strings is not necessarily an error, as in general, a program compiled with some old CALCEPH version can be dynamically linked with a newer CALCEPH library version (if allowed by the operating system).
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_ASTEROID
:type: integer
This integer defines the offset value for the asteroids that must be used as target or center for the computation functions, such as |calceph_compute|.
The following constants specify in which units are expressed the output of the computation functions, such as |calceph_compute_unit| :
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_UNIT_AU
:type: integer
This integer defines that the unit of the positions and velocities is expressed in astronomical unit.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_UNIT_KM
:type: integer
This integer defines that the unit of the positions and velocities is expressed in kilometer.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_UNIT_DAY
:type: integer
This integer defines that the unit of the velocities or the quantity TT-TDB or TCG-TCB is expressed in day (one day=86400 seconds).
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_UNIT_SEC
:type: integer
This integer defines that the unit of the velocities or the quantity TT-TDB or TCG-TCB is expressed in second.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_UNIT_RAD
:type: integer
This integer defines that the unit of the angles is expressed in radian.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_OUTPUT_EULERANGLES
:type: integer
This integer defines that the output array contains the euler angles.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_OUTPUT_NUTATIONANGLES
:type: integer
This integer defines that the output array contains the nutation angles.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_USE_NAIFID
:type: integer
This integer defines that the NAIF identification numbers are used as target or center for the computation functions, such as |calceph_compute_unit|.
.. _`ConstantsSegType`:
The following constants specify the type of segments for the functions, such as |calceph_getmaxsupportedorder| :
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_ORIG_0
:type: integer
This integer defines the type of segment for the original INPOP/JPL DE file format.
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_1
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_2
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_3
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_5
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_8
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_9
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_12
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_13
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_14
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_17
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_18
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_19
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_20
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_21
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_102
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_103
:type: integer
.. f:variable:: CALCEPH_SEGTYPE_SPK_120
:type: integer
This integer defines the type of segments (|supportedspk|) for the SPICE Kernel files.
