NAME

       DPGETC - Retrieves the current character value of an internal parameter.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL DPGETC (PNAM,CVAL)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       PNAM        (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) specifies the name of the
                   parameter to get. The name must appear as the first three characters of the
                   string.  Other characters may be used to document the use of the parameter
                   being retrieved; for example, instead of just ´CRB´, one can use ´CRB -
                   CHARACTER REPRESENTING BREAK´.

       CVAL        (an output variable of type CHARACTER) is the name of the variable into which
                   the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved.

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 Dashpack parameters.  For a
       complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the dashpack_params man page.

ACCESS

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

MESSAGES

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