#### Detailed_Input

       handle         is the file handle of an SPK file that has been
                      opened for writing.

       body           is the NAIF integer code for an ephemeris object
                      whose state relative to another body is described
                      by the segment to be created.

       center         is the NAIF integer code for the center of motion
                      of the object identified by body.

       frame          is the NAIF name for a reference frame
                      relative to which the state information for body
                      is specified.

       first,
       last           are, respectively, the start and stop times of
                      the time interval over which the segment defines
                      the state of body.

       segid          is the segment identifier.  An SPK segment
                      identifier may contain up to 40 characters.

       degree         is the degree of the Hermite polynomials used to
                      interpolate the states.  All components of the
                      state vectors are interpolated by polynomials of
                      fixed degree.

       n              is the number of states in the input state vector
                      array.

       states         contains a time-ordered array of geometric states
                      ( x, y, z, dx/dt, dy/dt, dz/dt, in kilometers and
                      kilometers per second ) of body relative to center,
                      specified relative to frame.

       epochs         is an array of epochs corresponding to the members
                      of the state array.  The epochs are specified as
                      seconds past J2000, TDB.

#### Detailed_Output

       None.  See $Particulars for a description of the effect of this
       routine.

#### Parameters

       MAXDEG         is the maximum allowed degree of the interpolating
                      polynomial.  If the value of MAXDEG is increased,
                      the SPICELIB routine SPKPVN must be changed
                      accordingly.  In particular, the size of the
                      record passed to SPKRnn and SPKEnn must be
                      increased, and comments describing the record size
                      must be changed.

#### Exceptions

       If any of the following exceptions occur, this routine will return
       without creating a new segment.

       1)  If frame is not a recognized name, the error
           SPICE(INVALIDREFFRAME) is signaled.

       2)  If the last non-blank character of segid occurs past index 40,
           the error SPICE(SEGIDTOOLONG) is signaled.

       3)  If segid contains any nonprintable characters, the error
           SPICE(NONPRINTABLECHARS) is signaled.

       4)  If degree is not at least 1 or is greater than MAXDEG, the
           error SPICE(INVALIDDEGREE) is signaled.

       5)  If degree is not odd, the error SPICE(INVALIDDEGREE) is
           signaled.

       6)  If the number of states n is not at least (degree+1)/2,
           the error SPICE(TOOFEWSTATES) will be signaled.

       7)  If first is greater than or equal to last then the error
           SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES) will be signaled.

       8)  If the elements of the array epochs are not in strictly
           increasing order, the error SPICE(TIMESOUTOFORDER) will be
           signaled.

       9)  If the first epoch epochs[0] is greater than first, the error
           SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES) will be signaled.

       10) If the last epoch epochs[n-1] is less than last, the error
           SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES) will be signaled.

       11) If either the input frame or segment ID string pointer is null,
           the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

       12) If either the input frame or segment ID string is empty,
           the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

#### Files

       A new type 13 SPK segment is written to the SPK file attached
       to HANDLE.

#### Particulars

       This routine writes an SPK type 13 data segment to the open SPK
       file according to the format described in the type 13 section of
       the SPK Required Reading. The SPK file must have been opened with
       write access.

#### Examples

       Suppose that you have states and are prepared to produce
       a segment of type 13 in an SPK file.

       The following code fragment could be used to add the new segment
       to a previously opened SPK file attached to handle. The file must
       have been opened with write access.

          #include "SpiceUsr.h"
               .
               .
               .

          /.
          Create a segment identifier.
          ./
          #define  SEGID  "MY_SAMPLE_SPK_TYPE_13_SEGMENT"

          /.
          Write the segment.
          ./

          spkw13_c ( handle,  body,    center,  frame,
                     first,   last,    segid,   degree,
                     n,       states,  epochs          );
