MAPSAV(3NCARG)

✨ MAPSAV — the "save my whole EZMAP vibe" era ✨

okay bestie, we're in the NCAR GRAPHICS section of the UNIX manual, and this one is short but SO important, like a lil snack that's actually a whole meal 💖

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

MAPSAV — saves the current state of EZMAP for later restoration by MAPRST.

that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "screenshot but make it FORTRAN" 📸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL MAPSAV (INFO)

---

🌸 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_mapsav (int info)

look at her, crossing language barriers, multilingual queen 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• INFO — an input expression, of type INTEGER, and it's the number of a unit that a single unformatted record is gonna get written to. It is the user's responsibility to position this unit, bestie. MAPSAV does not rewind it, either before or after writing the record. not before, not after, not ever. she simply does not do that. so if you're counting on a rewind, you're gonna have a bad time 😭

---

🧚 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🧚

the C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument description. literally identical. no notes, no changes, same energy fr fr ✨

---

🌈 USAGE 🌈

this routine lets you save internal parameter values to a file. that's the whole point, that's the assignment, and she ate 💅

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the ezmap_params man page. go read it, i'll wait 🫶

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

No example is available for MAPSAV. i know, i know, we're all devastated 😭 the tutorial girlies will have to fend for themselves.

---

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

to use MAPSAV or c_mapsav, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. the order matters, don't be chaotic about it (unless you want to be, but like, don't) 🔥

---

👑 MESSAGES 👑

see the ezmap man page for a description of all EZMAP error messages and/or informational messages. all of them. the whole roster. the good, the bad, the "why is this happening to me" 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this diva came straight out of the NCAR Graphics collection, filed under UNIX, dated March 1993 — and honestly? she's timeless. go save that state and restore it later, you iconic lil MAPSAV/MAPRST duo 🎀✨🦋
