#### Procedure
       removc_c ( Remove an item from a character set )

       void removc_c ( ConstSpiceChar  * item,
                       SpiceCell       * a    )
#### Abstract
       Remove an item from a character set.
#### Required_Reading
       SETS
#### Keywords
       CELLS
       SETS
#### Brief_I/O
       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       item       I   Item to be removed.
       a         I-O  Removal set.
#### Detailed_Input
       item        is an item which is to be removed from the specified set.
                   `item' may or may not already be an element of the set.
                   Trailing blanks in `item' are not significant.

       a           is a SPICE set.

                   On input, `a' may or may not contain the input item as an
                   element.

                   `a' must be declared as a character SpiceCell.

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

                      SPICECHAR_CELL          ( a, ASZ, AMLEN );

                   where ASZ is the maximum capacity of `a' and AMLEN is the
                   maximum length of any member in the character cell.
#### Detailed_Output
       a           on output, contains the difference of the input set and
                   the input item. If the item is not an element of the set,
                   the set is not changed.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  The data values in set `a' must be monotone strictly increasing.
           This is not checked. If this condition is not met, the results
           are unpredictable.

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

       3)  If the `a' cell argument has a type other than SpiceChar, the
           error SPICE(TYPEMISMATCH) is signaled.

       4)  If the `a' cell argument does not qualify as a SPICE set, the
           error SPICE(NOTASET) is signaled. SPICE sets have their data
           elements stored in increasing order and contain no duplicate
           elements.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       None.
#### 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) Create a set with all the original planets of the Solar
          System and then remove Pluto from that set.

          Example code begins here.

          /.
             Program removc_ex1
          ./
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include "SpiceUsr.h"

          int main( )
          {

             /.
             Local constants.
             ./
             #define PNAMSZ       8
             #define SETDIM       9

             /.
             Local variables.
             ./
             SPICECHAR_CELL     ( plnets, SETDIM, PNAMSZ );
             SpiceInt             i;

             /.
             Create the original planets list.
             ./
             SpiceChar            list   [SETDIM][PNAMSZ] = {
                                              "MERCURY", "VENUS",   "EARTH",
                                              "MARS",    "JUPITER", "SATURN",
                                              "URANUS",  "NEPTUNE", "PLUTO"  };

             /.
             Initialize the empty set.
             ./
             valid_c ( SETDIM, 0, &plnets );

             /.
             Insert the list of planets into the set. If the item is
             an element of the set, the set is not changed.
             ./
             for ( i = 0; i < SETDIM; i++ )
             {
                insrtc_c ( list[i], &plnets );
             }

             /.
             Remove the Pluto from the set. If the Pluto is not an
             element of the set, the set is not changed.
             ./
             removc_c ( "PLUTO", &plnets );

             /.
             Output the contents of `plnets'.
             ./
             printf( "Planets of the Solar System:\n" );

             for ( i = 0; i < card_c( &plnets ); i++ )
             {
                printf( "   %s\n", SPICE_CELL_ELEM_C( &plnets, i ) );
             }

             return ( 0 );
          }

          When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
          platform, the output was:

          Planets of the Solar System:
             EARTH
             JUPITER
             MARS
             MERCURY
             NEPTUNE
             SATURN
             URANUS
             VENUS
#### Restrictions
       1)  String comparisons performed by this routine are Fortran-style:
           trailing blanks in the input set or key value are ignored.
           This gives consistent behavior with CSPICE code generated by
           the f2c translator, as well as with the Fortran SPICE Toolkit.

           Note that this behavior is not identical to that of the ANSI
           C library functions strcmp and strncmp.

#### Version
       -CSPICE Version 1.2.0, 24-AUG-2021 (JDR)

           Changed the argument name "set" to "a" for consistency with other
           routines.

           Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added complete code
           example.

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

           Added entry #1 in -Exceptions section.

       -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 07-MAR-2009 (NJB)

           This file now includes the header file f2cMang.h.
           This header supports name mangling of f2c library
           functions.
