GINQ_NAME_OPEN_SEG(3NCARG)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ginq_name_open_seg — that's the NCAR Graphics function that tells you the name of the currently open segment 💅 it literally says "Inquire name of open segment" and that's exactly what it does, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_name_open_seg(Gint *err_ind, Gint *name_open_seg);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• err_ind — (Output) if the GKS state is SGOP (segment open), then err_ind comes back as 0. otherwise? it comes back as 4 😭 that's it, that's the vibe check.
• name_open_seg — (Output) if the GKS state is SGOP (segment open), then name_open_seg is returned as the number of the currently open segment 🔥 but if it's not, name_open_seg is undefined — like, we don't know her, she's not here, don't look at her 🙈

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the whole assignment, periodt 🫶
