/*
*  Name:
*     c2f77.c

*  Purpose:
*     Implement the interface between the C and FORTRAN 77 languages.

*  Description:
*     This file implements language-specific functions which support
*     the FORTRAN 77 interface to the AST library.
*
*     Note that this module is not a class implementation, although it
*     resembles one.

*  Notes:
*     - Some of the functions in this module are potentially platform
*     dependent and may need to be re-implemented when porting the AST
*     library to new platforms.

*  Name:
*     astStringExport

*  Purpose:
*     Export a C string to a FORTRAN string.

*  Type:
*     Protected function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "c2f77.h"
*     void astStringExport( const char *source_c, char *dest_f, int dest_len )

*  Description:
*     This function creates a FORTRAN string from a C string, storing
*     it in the supplied memory. If the C string is shorter than the
*     space allocated for the FORTRAN string, then it is padded with
*     blanks. If the C string is longer than the space allocated for
*     the FORTRAN string, then the string is truncated.

*  Parameters:
*     source_c
*        A pointer to the input C string.
*     dest_f
*        A pointer to the output FORTRAN string.
*     dest_len
*        The length of the output FORTRAN string.

*  Notes:
*     - This function is potentially platform-specific. For example,
*     if FORTRAN strings were passed by descriptor, then the
*     descriptor address would be passed as "dest_f" and this must
*     then be used to locate the actual FORTRAN character data.
*     - This function is described as protected but is in fact
*     available through the public interface so that it may be used in
*     constructing the FORTRAN 77 public interface.
*     - This is the UNIX version of this function.
