FXFINDEND

Purpose


Find the end of a FITS file.

Explanation


This routine finds the end of the last logical record in a FITS file,
which may be different from that of the physical end of the file. Each
FITS header is read in and parsed, and the file pointer is moved to
where the next FITS extension header would be if there is one, or to
the end of the file if not.

Use


FXFINDEND, UNIT [, EXTENSION]

Inputs


UNIT = Logical unit number for the opened file.
  Opt. Inputs :
None.

Outputs


None.
  Opt. Outputs:
      EXTENSION = The extension number that a new extension would
                  have if placed at the end of the file.

Keywords


None.

Calls


FXHREAD, FXPAR
  Common :
None.

Restrictions


The file must have been opened for block I/O. There must not be any
FITS "special records" at the end of the file.

Side Effects
