NAME

       CPGETC - Retrieves the current value of an internal parameter of type CHARACTER.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL CPGETC (PNAM, CVAL)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       void c_cpgetc (char *pnam, char *cval, int len)

DESCRIPTION

       PNAM        (CHARACTER,  input) is the name of a parameter whose character value is to be retrieved. Only
                   the first three characters of PNAM are examined. It is  recommended  that  the  rest  of  the
                   character string be used to improve the readability of the code. For example, instead of just
                   'LLT', use 'LLT - LINE LABEL TEXT'.

       CVAL        (CHARACTER, output) is a variable in which the value of the parameter specified by PNAM is to
                   be returned.

C-BINDING DESCRIPTION

       The  C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions with the following
       exception:

       len         The size of cval as dimensioned in the calling program.

USAGE

       This routine allows you to retrieve the current value of Conpack parameters.   For  a  complete  list  of
       parameters available in this utility, see the conpack_params man page.

EXAMPLES

       Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: cpex07.

ACCESS

       To  use CPGETC or c_cpgetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
       that order.

MESSAGES

       See the conpack man page for a description of all Conpack error messages and/or informational messages.
