*
* Summary of the fitshdr routines
* -------------------------------
* fitshdr() is a generic FITS header parser provided to handle keyrecords that
* are ignored by the WCS header parsers, wcspih() and wcsbth(). Typically the
* latter may be set to remove WCS keyrecords from a header leaving fitshdr()
* to handle the remainder.
*
*
* fitshdr() - FITS header parser routine
* --------------------------------------
* fitshdr() parses a character array containing a FITS header, extracting
* all keywords and their values into an array of fitskey structs.
*
* Given:
* header const char []
* Character array containing the (entire) FITS header,
* for example, as might be obtained conveniently via the
* CFITSIO routine fits_hdr2str().
*
* Each header "keyrecord" (formerly "card image")
* consists of exactly 80 7-bit ASCII printing characters
* in the range 0x20 to 0x7e (which excludes NUL, BS,
* TAB, LF, FF and CR) especially noting that the
* keyrecords are NOT null-terminated.
*
* nkeyrec int Number of keyrecords in header[].
*
* nkeyids int Number of entries in keyids[].
*
* Given and returned:
* keyids struct fitskeyid []
* While all keywords are extracted from the header,
* keyids[] provides a convienient way of indexing them.
* The fitskeyid struct contains three members;
* fitskeyid::name must be set by the user while
* fitskeyid::count and fitskeyid::name are returned by
* fitshdr(). All matched keywords will have their
* fitskey::keyno member negated.
*
* Returned:
* nreject int* Number of header keyrecords rejected for syntax
* errors.
*
* keys struct fitskey**
* Pointer to an array of nkeyrec fitskey structs
* containing all keywords and keyvalues extracted from
* the header.
*
* Memory for the array is allocated by fitshdr() and
* this must be freed by the user by invoking free() on
* the array.
*
* Function return value:
* int Status return value:
* 0: Success.
* 1: Null fitskey pointer passed.
* 2: Memory allocation failed.
* 3: Fatal error returned by Flex parser.
*
* Notes:
* 1: Keyword parsing is done in accordance with the syntax defined by
* NOST 100-2.0, noting the following points in particular:
*
* a: Sect. 5.1.2.1 specifies that keywords be left-justified in columns
* 1-8, blank-filled with no embedded spaces, composed only of the
* ASCII characters ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-_
*
* fitshdr() accepts any characters in columns 1-8 but flags keywords
* that do not conform to standard syntax.
*
* b: Sect. 5.1.2.2 defines the "value indicator" as the characters "= "
* occurring in columns 9 and 10. If these are absent then the
* keyword has no value and columns 9-80 may contain any ASCII text
* (but see note 2 for CONTINUE keyrecords). This is copied to the
* comment member of the fitskey struct.
*
* c: Sect. 5.1.2.3 states that a keyword may have a null (undefined)
* value if the value/comment field, columns 11-80, consists entirely
* of spaces, possibly followed by a comment.
*
* d: Sect. 5.1.1 states that trailing blanks in a string keyvalue are
* not significant and the parser always removes them. A string
* containing nothing but blanks will be replaced with a single
* blank.
*
* Sect. 5.2.1 also states that a quote character (') in a string
* value is to be represented by two successive quote characters and
* the parser removes the repeated quote.
*
* e: The parser recognizes free-format character (NOST 100-2.0,
* Sect. 5.2.1), integer (Sect. 5.2.3), and floating-point values
* (Sect. 5.2.4) for all keywords.
*
* f: Sect. 5.2.3 offers no comment on the size of an integer keyvalue
* except indirectly in limiting it to 70 digits. The parser will
* translates an integer keyvalue to a 32-bit signed integer if it
* lies in the range -2147483648 to +2147483647, otherwise it
* interprets it as a 64-bit signed integer if possible, or else a
* "very long" integer (see fitskey::type).
*
* g: END not followed by 77 blanks is not considered to be a legitimate
* end keyrecord.
*
* 2: The parser supports a generalization of the OGIP Long String Keyvalue
* Convention (v1.0) whereby strings may be continued onto successive
* header keyrecords. A keyrecord contains a segment of a continued
* string if and only if
*
* a: it contains the pseudo-keyword CONTINUE,
*
* b: columns 9 and 10 are both blank,
*
* c: columns 11 to 80 contain what would be considered a valid string
* keyvalue, including optional keycomment, if column 9 had contained
* '=',
*
* d: the previous keyrecord contained either a valid string keyvalue or
* a valid CONTINUE keyrecord.
*
* If any of these conditions is violated, the keyrecord is considered in
* isolation.
*
* Syntax errors in keycomments in a continued string are treated more
* permissively than usual; the '/' delimiter may be omitted provided that
* parsing of the string keyvalue is not compromised. However, the
* FITSHDR_COMMENT status bit will be set for the keyrecord (see
* fitskey::status).
*
* As for normal strings, trailing blanks in a continued string are not
* significant.
*
* In the OGIP convention "the '&' character is used as the last non-blank
* character of the string to indicate that the string is (probably)
* continued on the following keyword". This additional syntax is not
* required by fitshdr(), but if '&' does occur as the last non-blank
* character of a continued string keyvalue then it will be removed, along
* with any trailing blanks. However, blanks that occur before the '&'
* will be preserved.
*
*
* fitskeyid struct - Keyword indexing
* -----------------------------------
* fitshdr() uses the fitskeyid struct to return indexing information for
* specified keywords. The struct contains three members, the first of which,
* fitskeyid::name, must be set by the user with the remainder returned by
* fitshdr().
*
* char name[12]:
* (Given) Name of the required keyword. This is to be set by the user;
* the '.' character may be used for wildcarding. Trailing blanks will be
* replaced with nulls.
*
* int count:
* (Returned) The number of matches found for the keyword.
*
* int idx[2]:
* (Returned) Indices into keys[], the array of fitskey structs returned by
* fitshdr(). Note that these are 0-relative array indices, not keyrecord
* numbers.
*
* If the keyword is found in the header the first index will be set to the
* array index of its first occurrence, otherwise it will be set to -1.
*
* If multiples of the keyword are found, the second index will be set to
* the array index of its last occurrence, otherwise it will be set to -1.
*
*
* fitskey struct - Keyword/value information
* ------------------------------------------
* fitshdr() returns an array of fitskey structs, each of which contains the
* result of parsing one FITS header keyrecord. All members of the fitskey
* struct are returned by fitshdr(), none are given by the user.
*
* int keyno
* (Returned) Keyrecord number (1-relative) in the array passed as input to
* fitshdr(). This will be negated if the keyword matched any specified in
* the keyids[] index.
*
* int keyid
* (Returned) Index into the first entry in keyids[] with which the
* keyrecord matches, else -1.
*
* int status
* (Returned) Status flag bit-vector for the header keyrecord employing the
* following bit masks defined as preprocessor macros:
*
* - FITSHDR_KEYWORD: Illegal keyword syntax.
* - FITSHDR_KEYVALUE: Illegal keyvalue syntax.
* - FITSHDR_COMMENT: Illegal keycomment syntax.
* - FITSHDR_KEYREC: Illegal keyrecord, e.g. an END keyrecord with
* trailing text.
* - FITSHDR_TRAILER: Keyrecord following a valid END keyrecord.
*
* The header keyrecord is syntactically correct if no bits are set.
*
* char keyword[12]
* (Returned) Keyword name, null-filled for keywords of less than eight
* characters (trailing blanks replaced by nulls).
*
* Use
*
= sprintf(dst, "%.8s", keyword)
*
* to copy it to a character array with null-termination, or
*
= sprintf(dst, "%8.8s", keyword)
*
* to blank-fill to eight characters followed by null-termination.
*
* int type
* (Returned) Keyvalue data type:
* - 0: No keyvalue (both the value and type are undefined).
* - 1: Logical, represented as int.
* - 2: 32-bit signed integer.
* - 3: 64-bit signed integer (see below).
* - 4: Very long integer (see below).
* - 5: Floating point (stored as double).
* - 6: Integer complex (stored as double[2]).
* - 7: Floating point complex (stored as double[2]).
* - 8: String.
* - 8+10*n: Continued string (described below and in fitshdr() note 2).
*
* A negative type indicates that a syntax error was encountered when
* attempting to parse a keyvalue of the particular type.
*
* Comments on particular data types:
* - 64-bit signed integers lie in the range
*
= (-9223372036854775808 <= int64 < -2147483648) ||
= (+2147483647 < int64 <= +9223372036854775807)
*
* A native 64-bit data type may be defined via preprocessor macro
* WCSLIB_INT64 defined in wcsconfig.h, e.g. as 'long long int'; this
* will be typedef'd to 'int64' here. If WCSLIB_INT64 is not set, then
* int64 is typedef'd to int[3] instead and fitskey::keyvalue is to be
* computed as
*
= ((keyvalue.k[2]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.k[1]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.k[0]
*
* and may reported via
*
= if (keyvalue.k[2]) {
= printf("%d%09d%09d", keyvalue.k[2], abs(keyvalue.k[1]),
= abs(keyvalue.k[0]));
= } else {
= printf("%d%09d", keyvalue.k[1], abs(keyvalue.k[0]));
= }
*
* where keyvalue.k[0] and keyvalue.k[1] range from -999999999 to
* +999999999.
*
* - Very long integers, up to 70 decimal digits in length, are encoded
* in keyvalue.l as an array of int[8], each of which stores 9 decimal
* digits. fitskey::keyvalue is to be computed as
*
= (((((((keyvalue.l[7]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[6]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[5]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[4]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[3]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[2]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[1]) * 1000000000 +
= keyvalue.l[0]
*
* - Continued strings are not reconstructed, they remain split over
* successive fitskey structs in the keys[] array returned by
* fitshdr(). fitskey::keyvalue data type, 8 + 10n, indicates the
* segment number, n, in the continuation.
*
* int padding
* (An unused variable inserted for alignment purposes only.)
*
* union keyvalue
* (Returned) A union comprised of
*
* - fitskey::i,
* - fitskey::k,
* - fitskey::l,
* - fitskey::f,
* - fitskey::c,
* - fitskey::s,
*
* used by the fitskey struct to contain the value associated with a
* keyword.
*
* int i
* (Returned) Logical (fitskey::type == 1) and 32-bit signed integer
* (fitskey::type == 2) data types in the fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* int64 k
* (Returned) 64-bit signed integer (fitskey::type == 3) data type in the
* fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* int l[8]
* (Returned) Very long integer (fitskey::type == 4) data type in the
* fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* double f
* (Returned) Floating point (fitskey::type == 5) data type in the
* fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* double c[2]
* (Returned) Integer and floating point complex (fitskey::type == 6 || 7)
* data types in the fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* char s[72]
* (Returned) Null-terminated string (fitskey::type == 8) data type in the
* fitskey::keyvalue union.
*
* int ulen
* (Returned) Where a keycomment contains a units string in the standard
* form, e.g. [m/s], the ulen member indicates its length, inclusive of
* square brackets. Otherwise ulen is zero.
*
* char comment[84]
* (Returned) Keycomment, i.e. comment associated with the keyword or, for
* keyrecords rejected because of syntax errors, the compete keyrecord
* itself with null-termination.
*
* Comments are null-terminated with trailing spaces removed. Leading
* spaces are also removed from keycomments (i.e. those immediately
* following the '/' character), but not from COMMENT or HISTORY keyrecords
* or keyrecords without a value indicator ("= " in columns 9-80).
*
*
* Global variable: const char *fitshdr_errmsg[] - Status return messages
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Error messages to match the status value returned from each function.
