       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       handle     I   Handle of DAS file.
#### Detailed_Input
       handle      is the handle of a DAS file opened for writing.
#### Detailed_Output
       None.

       See -Particulars for a description of the action of this routine.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  If the input file handle is invalid, an error is signaled
           by a routine in the call tree of this routine. The indicated
           file will not be modified.

       2)  If a write operation attempted by this routine fails, an
           error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
           routine. The status of the DAS file written to is uncertain
           in this case.
#### Files
       See the description of the argument `handle' in -Detailed_Input.
#### Particulars
       This routine writes buffered records out to the DAS file to which
       they correspond.

       Because the DAS system buffers records that are written as well as
       those that are read, data supplied to the DAS add data (dasadc_c,
       dasadd_c, dasadi_c) and DAS update data (dasudc_c, dasudd_c, dasudi_c)
       routines on input has not necessarily been physically written to
       the DAS file specified by the caller of those routines, at the
       time those routines return. Before closing a DAS file that has
       been opened for writing, the DAS system must write out to the file
       any updated records present in the DAS buffers. The CSPICE
       routine dascls_c uses this routine to perform this function. The
       routines dasac_c and dasdc_c, through the use of the SPICELIB routines
       DASACR and DASRCR, which respectively add comment records to or
       delete comment records from a DAS file, use this routine to ensure
       that the SPICELIB routine DASRWR record buffers don't become out of
       sync with the file they operate upon.

       In addition, this routine can be used by application programs
       that create or update DAS files. The reason for calling this
       routine directly would be to provide a measure of safety when
       writing a very large file: if the file creation or update were
       interrupted, the amount of work lost due to the loss of buffered,
       unwritten records could be reduced.

       However, routines outside of CSPICE will generally not need to
       call this routine directly.
#### 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) Write a DAS file by adding data to it over multiple passes.
          Avoid spending time on file segregation between writes.

          Each pass opens the file, adds character, double precision,
          and integer data to the file, writes out buffered data by
          calling daswbr_c, and closes the file without segregating the
          data by calling dasllc_c.

          The program also checks the file: after the final write,
          the program reads the data and compares it to expected values.

          Note that most user-oriented applications should segregate a
          DAS file after writing it, since this greatly enhances file
          reading efficiency. The technique demonstrated here may be
          useful for cases in which a file will be written via many
          small data additions, and in which the file is read between
          write operations.
