#### Procedure
       ekffld_c ( EK, finish fast write )

       void ekffld_c ( SpiceInt     handle,
                       SpiceInt     segno,
                       SpiceInt   * rcptrs )
#### Abstract
       Complete a fast write operation on a new E-kernel segment.
#### Required_Reading
       EK
#### Keywords
       EK
#### Brief_I/O
       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       handle     I   File handle.
       segno      I   Segment number.
       rcptrs     I   Record pointers.
#### Detailed_Input
       handle      the handle of an EK file that is open for writing.
                   A "begin segment for fast write" operation must
                   have already been performed for the designated
                   segment.

       segno       is the number of the segment to which data is to be
                   added. Segments are numbered from 0 to nseg-1, where
                   nseg is the count of segments in the file.

       rcptrs      is an array of record pointers for the input
                   segment. This array is obtained as an output
                   from ekifld_c, the routine called to initiate a
                   fast write.
#### Detailed_Output
       None.

       See the -Particulars section for a description of the
       effects of this routine.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  If `handle' is invalid, an error is signaled by a routine in the
           call tree of this routine.

       2)  If an attempt is made to finish a segment other than the one
           last initialized by ekifld_c, an error is signaled by a routine
           in the call tree of this routine.

       3)  If an I/O error occurs while reading or writing the indicated
           file, the error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
           this routine.
#### Files
       See the EK Required Reading for a discussion of the EK file
       format.
#### Particulars
       This routine completes an EK segment after the data has been
       written via the fast column writer routines. The segment must
       have been created by a call to ekifld_c. The fast column
       writer routines are:

          ekaclc_c {EK, add column, character}
          ekacld_c {EK, add column, double precision}
          ekacli_c {EK, add column, integer}

       The segment is not guaranteed to be readable until all columns
       have been added. After the columns have been added, the segment
       may be extended by inserting more records and filling in those
       records using the ekaceX_c routines.
#### Examples
       The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
       platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
       input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
       specific arithmetic implementation.

       1) Suppose we want to create an Sequence Component E-kernel
          named "ekffld_ex1.bdb" which contains records of orders for
          data products. The E-kernel has a table called DATAORDERS
          that consists of the set of columns listed below:

             DATAORDERS

                Column Name     Data Type
                -----------     ---------
                ORDER_ID        INTEGER
                CUSTOMER_ID     INTEGER
                LAST_NAME       CHARACTER*(*)
                FIRST_NAME      CHARACTER*(*)
                ORDER_DATE      TIME
                COST            DOUBLE PRECISION

          The order database also has a table of items that have been
          ordered. The columns of this table are shown below:

             DATAITEMS

                Column Name     Data Type
                -----------     ---------
                ITEM_ID         INTEGER
                ORDER_ID        INTEGER
                ITEM_NAME       CHARACTER*(*)
                DESCRIPTION     CHARACTER*(*)
                PRICE           DOUBLE PRECISION

          The file "ekffld_ex1.bdb" will contain two segments, the first
          containing the DATAORDERS table and the second containing the
          DATAITEMS table.

          This example demonstrates how to open a new EK file and create
          the first of the segments described above.

          Use the LSK kernel below to load the leap seconds and time
          constants required for the conversions.

             Open a new EK file.  For simplicity, we will not
             reserve any space for the comment area, so the

             for the DATAORDERS segment.  We'll index all of
             the columns.  All columns are scalar, so we omit
             the size declaration.  Only the COST column may take
             null values.

             /.
             Start the segment.  We presume the number of  rows
             of data is known in advance.
             ./
             ekifld_c ( handle,  TABLE,   NCOLS,  NROWS,   CNMLEN,

             /.
             At this point, arrays containing data for the
             segment's columns may be filled in.  The names
             of the data arrays are shown below.

                Column           Data array

                "ORDER_ID"       ordids

                "FIRST_NAME"     fnames
                "ORDER_DATE"     ets
                "COST"           costs

             The null flags array indicates which entries are null.
             It is ignored for columns that don't allow null
             values.  In this case, only the COST column allows
             nulls.

             Fill in data arrays and null flag arrays here.  This code
             section would normally be replaced by calls to user functions
             returning column values.
             ./

             for ( i = 0;  i < NROWS;  i++ )
             {
                ordids[i]  =  i;
                cstids[i]  =  i*100;
                costs [i]  =  (SpiceDouble) 100*i;

                sprintf  ( fnames[i], "Order %d Customer first name", i );
                sprintf  ( lnames[i], "Order %d Customer last name",  i );
                sprintf  ( dateStr,   "1998 Mar %d",                  i );

                utc2et_c ( dateStr, ets+i );

                nlflgs[i]  =  SPICEFALSE;
             }

             nlflgs[1] = SPICETRUE;

             /.
             The sizes array shown below is ignored for scalar
             and fixed-size array columns, so we need not
             initialize it.  For variable-size arrays, the
             Ith element of the sizes array must contain the size
             of the Ith column entry in the column being written.
             Normally, the sizes array would be reset for each
             variable-size column.

             Add the columns of data to the segment.  All of the
             data for each column is written in one shot.
             ./
             ekacli_c ( handle,  segno,   "order_id",    ordids,
                        sizes,   nlflgs,  rcptrs,        wkindx );

             ekacli_c ( handle,  segno,   "customer_id", cstids,
                        sizes,   nlflgs,  rcptrs,        wkindx );

             ekaclc_c ( handle,  segno,   "last_name",   LNMLEN,
                        lnames,  sizes,   nlflgs,        rcptrs,  wkindx );

             ekaclc_c ( handle,  segno,   "first_name",  FNMLEN,
                        fnames,  sizes,   nlflgs,        rcptrs,  wkindx );

             ekacld_c ( handle,  segno,   "order_date",  ets,
                        sizes,   nlflgs,  rcptrs,        wkindx );

             ekacld_c ( handle,  segno,   "cost",        costs,
                        sizes,   nlflgs,  rcptrs,        wkindx );

             /.
             Complete the segment. The `rcptrs' array is that
             returned by ekifld_c.
             ./
             ekffld_c ( handle, segno, rcptrs );

             /.
             At this point, the second segment could be
             created by an analogous process.  In fact, the
             second segment could be created at any time; it is
             not necessary to populate the first segment with
             data before starting the second segment.

             The file must be closed by a call to ekcls_c.
             ./
             ekcls_c ( handle );

             return ( 0 );
          }

          When this program is executed, no output is presented on
          screen. After run completion, a new EK file exists in the
          output directory.
#### Restrictions
       1)  Only one segment can be created at a time using the fast
           write routines.

       2)  No other EK operation may interrupt a fast write. For
           example, it is not valid to issue a query while a fast write
           is in progress.
