SUBROUTINE BDI_LINK( CLASS, NDIM, DIMS, TYPE, FID, STATUS ) *+ * Name: * BDI_LINK * Purpose: * Create new BinDS derived object and link to an existing file object * Language: * Starlink Fortran * Invocation: * CALL BDI_LINK( CLASS, NDIM, DIMS, TYPE, FID, STATUS ) * Description: * This routine is used to create new BinDS derived data objects and * link them to low level file objects. The supplied file identifier * is updated and should be used to erase the object chain after this * routine has been invoked. * Arguments: * CLASS = CHARACTER*(*) (given) * The class of the new interface object * NDIM = INTEGER (given) * The dimensionality of the new BinDS object * DIMS[NDIM] = INTEGER (given) * The dimensions of the new BinDS object * TYPE = CHARACTER*(*) (given) * The basic data type of the new BinDS object * FID = INTEGER (given and returned) * The low level file object to link to * STATUS = INTEGER (given and returned) * The global status. * Examples: * {routine_example_text} * {routine_example_description} * Pitfalls: * {pitfall_description}... * Notes: * {routine_notes}... * Prior Requirements: * {routine_prior_requirements}... * Side Effects: * {routine_side_effects}... * Algorithm: * {algorithm_description}... * Accuracy: * {routine_accuracy} * Timing: * {routine_timing} * External Routines Used: * {name_of_facility_or_package}: * {routine_used}... * Implementation Deficiencies: * {routine_deficiencies}... * References: * BDI Subroutine Guide : http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/asterix-docs/Programmer/Guides/bdi.html * Keywords: * package:bdi, usage:public * Copyright: * Copyright (C) University of Birmingham, 1995 * Authors: * DJA: David J.
