c_nngetc(3NCARG)

💖 c_nngetc — the char-param glow-up (NCAR Graphics) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to c_nngetc, a lil function from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the manual name, consider it folded in 🫶). Buckle up, it's short but it's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

c_nngetc — Retrieve values for char valued parameters

like, that's literally what the NAME section says, so we're saying it, periodt. 💅

🌸 FUNCTION PROTOTYPE 🌸

void c_nngetc(char *, char *);

look at her. two char * and a void. no return value, no notes. she ate and left no crumbs. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void c_nngetc (pnam, cval);

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

• pnam — a string that specifies the name of the parameter to be set. like, you're naming names. 🎀
• cval — a string specifying the value to be assigned to the internal parameter specified by pnam. this is the actual value being handed over, bestie.

💜 USAGE 💜

this routine lets you set the current value of Natgrid parameters. no cap, that's the whole job.

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, go look at the natgrid_params man page. iykyk — that's where the full roster lives. 🌈

tiny vibe check: the NAME says retrieve and the USAGE says set. we do not editorialize here, we just report. both are in the source, both are staying. 😭

🌟 ACCESS 🌟

to use c_nngetc, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the plug. 🔌✨
