Convert encoded spacecraft clock ticks to character clock format. 

   SCLK 

   Variable  I/O  Description 
   --------  ---  -------------------------------------------------- 
   sc         I   NAIF spacecraft identification code. 
   ticks      I   Encoded representation of a spacecraft clock count. 
   lenout     I   Maximum allowed length of output string. 
   clkstr     O   Character representation of a clock count. 

   sc         is the NAIF ID number for the spacecraft whose clock's 
              time is being decoded. 

   ticks      is the double precision encoding of a clock time in 
              units of ticks.  Partition information is not reflected 
              in this value. 

              An analogy may be drawn between a spacecraft clock and 
              a standard wall clock.  The number of ticks 
              corresponding to the wall clock string 

                 hh:mm:ss 

              would be the number of seconds represented by that 
              time. 

              For example, 

                 Clock string    Number of ticks 
                 ------------    --------------- 
                   00:00:10             10 
                   00:01:00             60 
                   00:10:00            600 
                   01:00:00           3600 
                   01:01:00           3660 

              If ticks contains a fractional part the result is the 
              same as if ticks had been rounded to the nearest whole 
              number. 

              See the Examples section below for examples of 
              actual spacecraft clock conversions. 

   lenout     The allowed length of the output string.  This length
              must large enough to hold the 'clkstr' string plus the
              null terminator.  If the output string is expected to
              have x characters, 'lenout' must be x + 1.

   clkstr     is the spacecraft clock character string 
              corresponding to ticks.  Partition information is 
              not included in clkstr. 

              Using Galileo as an example, the full format clock 
              string is 

                 wwwwwwww:xx:y:z 

              where z is a mod-8 counter (values 0-7) which 
              increments approximately once every 8 1/3 ms., y is a 
              mod-10 counter (values 0-9) which increments once 
              every time z turns over, i.e., approximately once every 
              66 2/3 ms., xx is a mod-91 (values 0-90) counter 
              which increments once every time y turns over, i.e., 
              once every 2/3 seconds. wwwwwwww is the Real-Time Image 
              Count (RIM), which increments once every time xx turns 
              over, i.e., once every 60 2/3 seconds. The roll-over 
              expression for the RIM is 16777215, which corresponds 
              to approximately 32 years. 

              wwwwwwww, xx, y, and z are referred to interchangeably 
              as the fields or components of the spacecraft clock. 
              SCLK components may be separated by any of these five 
              characters: " "  ":"  ","  "-"  "." 
              The delimiter used is determined by a kernel pool 
              variable and can be adjusted by the user. 

              Some spacecraft clock components have offset, or 
              starting, values different from zero.  For example, 
              with an offset value of 1, a mod 20 counter would 
              cycle from 1 to 20 instead of from 0 to 19. 

              See the SCLK required reading for a detailed 
              description of the Voyager and Mars Observer clock 
              formats. 

   None. 

   The routine sctiks_c performs the inverse operation to scfmt_c, 
   converting from clock format to number of ticks. 

   Note the important difference between scfmt_c and scdecd_c. scdecd_c 
   converts some number of ticks since the spacecraft clock start 
   time to a character string which includes a partition number. 
   scfmt_c, which is called by scdecd_c, does not make use of partition 
   information. 

   The following program fragment finds partition start and stop 
   times for the Galileo spacecraft from a spacecraft clock partition 
   kernel file, called sclk.ker. Since those times are always 
   returned in units of ticks, the program uses scfmt_c to print the 
   times in Galileo clock format. 

      #include <stdio.h>
      #include "SpiceUsr.h"

      #define                MXPART   50 
      #define                MAXLEN   30

      SpiceChar              start  [ 30 ];
      SpiceChar              stop   [ 30 ];

      SpiceDouble            pstart [ MXPART ];
      SpiceDouble            pstop  [ MXPART ];

      SpiceInt               sc  =  -77; 
      SpiceInt               i; 
      SpiceInt               nparts;


      ldpool_c ( "sclk.ker" ); 

      scpart_c ( sc, &nparts, pstart, pstop );

      for ( i = 0;  i < nparts;  i++ )
      {

         scfmt_c ( sc, pstart[ i ], MAXLEN, start ); 
         scfmt_c ( sc, pstop [ i ], MAXLEN, stop  ); 

         printf ( "\n"
                  "partition %d: \n" 
                  "start =  %s\n"
                  "stop  =  %s\n",
                   i,
                   start, 
                   stop                ); 
      }



   Below are some examples illustrating various input numbers of 
   ticks and the resulting clock string outputs for the Galileo 
   spacecraft. 

      TICKS                 CLKSTR 
      ----------------      -------------------- 
      -1                    Error: Ticks must be a positive number 
      0                     "0:00:0:0" 
      1                     "0:00:0:1" 
      1.3                   "0:00:0:1" 
      1.5                   "0:00:0:2" 
      2                     "0:00:0:2" 
      7                     "0:00:0:7" 
      8                     "0:00:1:0" 
      80                    "0:01:0:0" 
      88                    "0:01:1:0"

   The following examples are for the Voyager 2 spacecraft. 
   Note that the third component of the Voyager clock has an 
   offset value of one. 

      TICKS                 CLKSTR 
      ----------------      -------------------- 
      -1                    Error: Ticks must be a positive number 
      0                     "00000 00 001" 
      1                     "00000 00 002" 
      1.3                   "00000:00:002" 
      1.5                   "00000.00.003"

      800                   "00000 01 001" 
      47999                 "00000 59 800"

      3145727999            "65535 59 800" 

   None. 

   1) If the data type for the spacecraft is not supported 
      then the error SPICE(NOTSUPPORTED) is signaled. 

   2) If the value for ticks is negative, the error is diagnosed 
      by routines called by this routine. 

   3) If the SCLK kernel file does not contain data for the 
      spacecraft specified by sc, then the error is diagnosed 
      by routines called by this routine. 

   4) If the output string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
      is signaled.

   5) If the output string has length less than two characters, it 
      is too short to contain one character of output data plus a null  
      terminator, so it cannot be passed to the underlying Fortran 
      routine.  In this event, the the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is
      signaled.

   6) If the length of clkstr (indicated by lenout) is at least two
      characters but not large enough to contain the output clock 
      string, the error is diagnosed by a routine called by this 
      routine.
