FUNCTION FXBHEADER, UNIT ;+ ; NAME: ; FXBHEADER() ; ; PURPOSE: ; Returns the header of an open FITS binary table. ; ; Explanation : This procedure returns the FITS extension header of a FITS ; binary table opened for read with the command FXBOPEN. ; ; Use : Result = FXBHEADER(UNIT) ; ; Inputs : UNIT = Logical unit number returned by FXBOPEN routine. ; Must be a scalar integer. ; ; Opt. Inputs : None. ; ; Outputs : The result of the function is a string array containing the ; header for the FITS binary table that UNIT points to. ; ; Opt. Outputs: None. ; ; Keywords : None. ; ; Calls : FXBFINDLUN ; ; Common : Uses common block FXBINTABLE--see "fxbintable.pro" for more ; information. ; ; Restrictions: None. ; ; Side effects: The string array returned always has as many elements as the ; largest header read by FXBOPEN. Any extra elements beyond the ; true header are blank or null strings. ; ; The header will be returned whether or not the table is still ; open or not. ; ; If UNIT does not point to a binary table, then a string array ; of nulls is returned. ; ; If UNIT is an undefined variable, then the null string is ; returned. ; ; Category : Data Handling, I/O, FITS, Generic. ; ; Prev.
