       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       pckfnm     I   Name of PCK file.
       idcode     I   Class ID code of PCK reference frame.
       cover     I-O  Window giving coverage in `pckfnm' for `idcode'.
#### Detailed_Input
       pckfnm      is the name of a binary PCK file.

       idcode      is the integer frame class ID code of a PCK reference
                   frame for which data are expected to exist in the
                   specified PCK file.

       cover       is an initialized SPICE window data structure. `cover'
                   optionally may contain coverage data on input; on output,
                   the data already present in `cover' will be combined with
                   coverage found for the reference frame designated by
                   `idcode' in the file `pckfnm'.

                   If `cover' contains no data on input, its size and
                   cardinality still must be initialized.

                   `cover' must be declared as a double precision SpiceCell.

                   CSPICE provides the following macro, which declares and
                   initializes the cell

                      SPICEDOUBLE_CELL        ( cover, COVERSZ );

                   where COVERSZ is the maximum capacity of `cover'.
#### Detailed_Output
       cover       is a SPICE window data structure which represents the
                   merged coverage for the reference frame having frame
                   class ID `idcode'. This is the set of time intervals for
                   which data for `idcode' are present in the file `pckfnm',
                   merged with the set of time intervals present in `cover' on
                   input. The merged coverage is represented as the union of
                   one or more disjoint time intervals. The window `cover'
                   contains the pairs of endpoints of these intervals.

                   The interval endpoints contained in `cover' are ephemeris
                   times, expressed as seconds past J2000 TDB.

                   See the -Examples section below for a complete example
                   program showing how to retrieve the endpoints from `cover'.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  If the input file has transfer format, the error
           SPICE(INVALIDFORMAT) is signaled by a routine in the call tree
           of this routine.

       2)  If the input file is not a transfer file but has architecture
           other than DAF, the error SPICE(INVALIDARCHTYPE) is signaled
           by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

       3)  If the input file is a binary DAF file of type other than PCK,
           the error SPICE(INVALIDFILETYPE) is signaled by a routine in
           the call tree of this routine.

       4)  If the PCK file cannot be opened or read, an error is signaled
           by a routine in the call tree of this routine. The output
           window will not be modified.

       5)  If the size of the output window argument `cover' is
           insufficient to contain the actual number of intervals in the
           coverage window for `idcode', an error is signaled by a routine
           in the call tree of this routine.

       6)  If the `pckfnm' input string pointer is null, the error
           SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

       7)  If the `pckfnm' input string has zero length, the error
           SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

       8)  If the `cover' cell argument has a type other than
           SpiceDouble, the error SPICE(TYPEMISMATCH) is signaled.
#### Files
       This routine reads a PCK file.
#### Particulars
       This routine provides an API via which applications can determine
       the coverage a specified PCK file provides for a specified
       PCK class reference frame.
#### Examples
       The numerical results shown for these examples 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) This example demonstrates combined usage of pckcov_c and the
          related PCK utility pckfrm_c.

          Display the coverage for each object in a specified PCK file.
          Find the set of objects in the file; for each object, find
          and display the coverage.

             assumed to contain adequate or correct versions of data
             required by SPICE-based user applications.

             In order for an application to use this meta-kernel, the
             kernels referenced here must be present in the user's
             current working directory.

          When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
          platform, using the meta-kernel named pckcov_ex2.tm provided
          above to find the coverage window for the ITRF93 frame using
          its ID code, "3000", the output was:

          Name of metakernel > pckcov_ex2.tm
          Enter ID code      > 3000

          Coverage for frame 3000

          Interval:  0

#### Version
       -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 25-AUG-2021 (JDR)

           Changed input argument name "pck" to "pckfnm" for consistency with other
           routines.

           Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Corrected short error
           message in entries #2 and #3 in -Exceptions section. Added examples'
           solution and meta-kernel for example #2.

           Extended description of argument "cover" in -Detailed_Input to include
           type and preferred declaration method.

           Added entry #8 to -Exceptions section.

       -CSPICE Version 1.0.2, 12-JUL-2016 (EDW)

           Edit to example program to use "%d" with explicit casts
           to int for printing SpiceInts with printf.

       -CSPICE Version 1.0.1, 01-JUL-2014 (NJB)

           Updated index entries.

       -CSPICE Version 1.0.0, 30-NOV-2007 (NJB)
