SFGETC(3NCARG)

✨ SFGETC 💖 (the NCAR Graphics manual, bestie edition)

ok so like. hi. you're reading the NCAR Graphics manual page for SFGETC, and honestly? she's a little icon. tiny job, big slay. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SFGETC — the girl whose whole entire job is to go get you the current value of a parameter you ask for. internal parameter. specified one. she fetches. periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL SFGETC (CNP,CVP)

---

💅 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 💅

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_sfgetc (char *cnp, char *cvp, int len)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• CNP — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and she's the name of an internal parameter of SOFTFILL. and bestie, listen, right now there is literally only one legal value: 'CH' — or honestly any longer string that begins with 'CH', she's not gonna gatekeep the extra letters — which stands for "CHaracter". that's it. that's the whole list. she's booked and busy but the menu is short 😭
• CVP — an output variable of type CHARACTER, and she's the name of the variable where the value of the parameter you named in CNP gets dropped off. like a little delivery. to your variable. adorable 🫶

---

💜 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💜

the C-binding argument descriptions are literally the same as the FORTRAN ones, with exactly one (1) exception:

• len — the size of cvp as dimensioned in the calling program. that's it. that's the only difference. slay.

---

🔥 USAGE 🔥

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Softfill parameters. 💫

for a complete list of the parameters available in this utility, go read the softfill_params man page. she has the full menu, i just have the one dish. no cap.

---

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use SFGETC or c_sfgetc, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. the order matters, bestie. don't be chaotic about it (or do, but like, she said preferably) 🙈

---

🍓 MESSAGES 🍓

see the softfill man page for a description of all Softfill error messages and/or informational messages. if something goes sideways, that's where the tea is 💀

ok that's the whole page, you ate it, you understood it, main character energy fr fr ⭐ this was the UNIX manual, March 1993, SFGETC(3NCARG) — and yes she's been serving the exact same look since 1993 and she's still iconic for it 💖 bye bestie 🎀
