#### Procedure
       void dafopw_c ( ConstSpiceChar  * fname,
                       SpiceInt        * handle )
#### Abstract
       Open a DAF for subsequent write requests.
#### Required_Reading
       DAF
#### Keywords
       DAF
       FILES
#### Brief_I/O
       Variable  I/O  Description
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       fname      I   Name of DAF to be opened.
       handle     O   Handle assigned to DAF.
#### Detailed_Input
       fname       is the name of a DAF to be opened with write
                   access.
#### Detailed_Output
       handle      is the file handle associated with the file. This
                   handle is used to identify the file in subsequent
                   calls to other DAF routines.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1) If the specified file has already been opened, either by
          the DAF routines or by other code, an error is signaled by
          routines in the call tree of this routine.  Note that this
          response is not paralleled by dafopr_c, which allows you
          to open a DAF for reading even if it is already open for
          reading.

       2) If the specified file cannot be opened without exceeding
          the maximum number of files, the error SPICE(DAFFTFULL)
          is signaled.

       3) If the attempt to read the file's file record fails, the
          error SPICE(FILEREADFAILED) will be signaled.

       4) If the specified file is not a DAF file, an error is
          signaled by routines in the call tree of this routine.

       5) If no logical units are available, an error is
          signaled by routines called by this routine.

       6) If the file does not exist, the error SPICE(FILENOTFOUND)
          is signaled by routines in the call tree of this routine.

       7) If an I/O error occurs in the process of opening the file,
          routines in the call tree of this routine signal an error.

       8) If the file name is blank or otherwise inappropriate
          routines in the call tree of this routine signal an error.

       9) If the file was transferred improperly via FTP, routines
          in the call tree of this routine signal an error.

      10) If the file utilizes a non-native binary file format, an
          error is signaled by routines in the call tree of this
          routine.

      11) The error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled if the file namne
          string does not contain at least one character, since the
          string cannot be converted to a Fortran-style string
          in this case.

      12) The error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled if the input file
          name string pointer is null.
#### Files
       See argument `fname'.
#### Particulars
       Most DAFs require only read access. If you do not need to
       change the contents of a file, you should open it with dafopr_c.
       Use dafopw_c when you need to

          -- change (update) one or more summaries, names, or
             arrays within a file; or

          -- add new arrays to a file.
#### Examples
       In the following code fragment, dafopw_c is used to open a
       file, which is then searched for arrays containing data for
       a particular object. The code for the object is then changed
       (perhaps to reflect some new convention).

          #include "SpiceUsr.h"
          #include "SpiceZfc.h"

          int main()
          {
             void dafopw_c ( ConstSpiceChar  * fname,
                             SpiceInt        * handle );

             #define  DSCSIZ         5
             #define  FILSIZ         256
             #define  LINSIZ         81
             #define  ND             2
             #define  NI             6

             SpiceBoolean            found;

             SpiceChar               fname      [ FILSIZ ];
             SpiceChar               line       [ LINSIZ ];

             SpiceDouble             dc         [ ND ];
             SpiceDouble             sum        [ DSCSIZ ];

             SpiceInt                handle;
             SpiceInt                ic         [ NI ];
             SpiceInt                nd         = ND;
             SpiceInt                new_code;
             SpiceInt                ni         = NI;
             SpiceInt                old_code;

             /.
             Get the file name.
             ./

             prompt_c ( "Enter ID code to change    > ", LINSIZ, line  );
             prsint_c ( line, &old_code );

             prompt_c ( "Enter replacement code     > ", LINSIZ, line  );
             prsint_c ( line, &new_code );

             /.
             Open the existing DAF file for write access.
             ./
             dafopw_c ( fname, &handle );

             /.
             Start a forward search through the file.
             ./
             dafbfs_c ( handle );

             /.
             Find the first array (segment).
             ./
             daffna_c ( &found );

             while ( found )
             {
                /.
                Read and unpack the current DAF array summary
                (aka segment descriptor) sum:
                ./
                dafgs_c ( sum );
                dafus_c ( sum, nd, ni, dc, ic );

                if ( ic[0] == old_code )
                {
                   ic[0] = new_code;

                   /.
                   Pack the summary array using the updated
                   integer array ic.  Note this is an f2c'd
                   routine, so the array sizes are passed by
                   reference.
                   ./
                   dafps_ ( &nd, &ni, dc, ic, sum );

                   /.
                   Replace the segment descriptor in the DAF.
                   ./
                   dafrs_ ( sum );
                }

                /.
                Find the next segment.
                ./
                daffna_c ( &found );
             }

             /.
             Close the DAF.
             ./
             dafcls_c ( handle );

             return ( 0 );
          }
#### Restrictions
       1) Only files of the native binary file format may be opened
          with this routine.

       2) Files opened using this routine must be closed with dafcls_c.
