/*
*+
*  Name:
*     palObs

*  Purpose:
*     Parameters of selected ground-based observing stations

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     int palObs( size_t n, const char * c,
*                 char * ident, size_t identlen,
*                 char * name, size_t namelen,
*                 double * w, double * p, double * h );

*  Arguments:
*     n = size_t (Given)
*         Number specifying the observing station. If 0
*         the identifier in "c" is used to determine the
*         observing station to use.
*     c = const char * (Given)
*         Identifier specifying the observing station for
*         which the parameters should be returned. Only used
*         if n is 0. Can be NULL for n>0. Case insensitive.
*     ident = char * (Returned)
*         Identifier of the observing station selected. Will be
*         identical to "c" if n==0. Unchanged if "n" or "c"
*         do not match an observing station. Should be at least
*         11 characters (including the trailing nul).
*     identlen = size_t (Given)
*         Size of the buffer "ident" including trailing nul.
*     name = char * (Returned)
*         Full name of the specified observing station. Contains "?"
*         if "n" or "c" did not correspond to a valid station. Should
*         be at least 41 characters (including the trailing nul).
*     w = double * (Returned)
*         Longitude (radians, West +ve). Unchanged if observing
*         station could not be identified.
*     p = double * (Returned)
*         Geodetic latitude (radians, North +ve). Unchanged if observing
*         station could not be identified.
*     h = double * (Returned)
*         Height above sea level (metres). Unchanged if observing
*         station could not be identified.

*  Returned Value:
*     palObs = int
*         0 if an observing station was returned. -1 if no match was
*         found.

*  Description:
*     Station numbers, identifiers, names and other details are
*     subject to change and should not be hardwired into
*     application programs.
*
*     All characters in "c" up to the first space are
*     checked;  thus an abbreviated ID will return the parameters
*     for the first station in the list which matches the
*     abbreviation supplied, and no station in the list will ever
*     contain embedded spaces. "c" must not have leading spaces.
*
*     IMPORTANT -- BEWARE OF THE LONGITUDE SIGN CONVENTION.  The
*     longitude returned by palOBS (and SLA_OBS) is west-positive in accordance
*     with astronomical usage.  However, this sign convention is
*     left-handed and is the opposite of the one used by geographers;
*     elsewhere in PAL the preferable east-positive convention is
*     used.  In particular, note that for use in palAop, palAoppa
*     and palOap the sign of the longitude must be reversed.
*
*     Users are urged to inform the author of any improvements
*     they would like to see made.  For example:
*
*         typographical corrections
*         more accurate parameters
*         better station identifiers or names
*         additional stations

*     PTW: Patrick T. Wallace

*  Notes:
*     - Differs from the SLA interface in that the output short name
*       is not the same variable as the input short name. This simplifies
*       consting. Additionally the size of the output buffers are now
*       specified in the API and a status integer is returned.

*  History:
*     2012-03-06 (TIMJ):
*        Initial version containing entries from SLA/F as of 15 March 2002
*        with a 2008 tweak to the JCMT GPS position.
*        Adapted with permission from the Fortran SLALIB library.
*     2014-04-08 (TIMJ):
*        Add APEX and NANTEN2
