DPGETC - Retrieves the current character value of an internal parameter.
Contents
Access
To use DPGETC or c_dpgetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
that order.
C-Binding Description
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions with the following
exception:
len The size of cval as dimensioned in the calling program.

Description
PNAM (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) specifies the name of the parameter to get.
The name must appear as the first three characters of the string. Other characters may be
used to document the use of the parameter being retrieved; for example, instead of just
´CRB´, one can use ´CRB - CHARACTER REPRESENTING BREAK´.
CVAL (an output variable of type CHARACTER) is the name of the variable into which the value of
the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved.
