5  Arguments

1:     optstr – const char *Input

On entry: a string identifying the option whose current value is required. See Section 11 in nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc) for information on valid options. In addition, the following is a valid option:

$\mathbf{Identify}$

nag_fit_opt_get (e02zlc) returns in cvalue the function name supplied to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc) when the optional argument arrays iopts and opts were initialized.

2:     ivalue – Integer *Output

On exit: if the optional argument supplied in optstr is an integer valued argument, ivalue will hold its current value.

3:     rvalue – double *Output

On exit: if the optional argument supplied in optstr is a real valued argument, rvalue will hold its current value.

4:     cvalue – char *Output

Note: the string returned in cvalue will never exceed lcvalue characters in length (including the NULL terminator).

On exit: if the optional argument supplied in optstr is a character valued argument, cvalue will hold its current value, unless Identify is specified (see optstr).

5:     lcvalue – IntegerInput

On entry: length of cvalue. At most $\mathbf{lcvalue}-1$ non-null characters will be written into cvalue.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lcvalue}>1$.

6:     optype – Nag_VariableType *Output

On exit: indicates whether the optional argument supplied in optstr is an integer, real or character valued argument and hence which of ivalue, rvalue or cvalue holds the current value.

$\mathbf{optype}=\mathrm{Nag\_Integer}$

optstr is an integer valued optional argument, its current value has been returned in ivalue.

$\mathbf{optype}=\mathrm{Nag\_Real}$

optstr is a real valued optional argument, its current value has been returned in rvalue.

$\mathbf{optype}=\mathrm{Nag\_Character}$

optstr is a character valued optional argument, its current value has been returned in cvalue.

7:     iopts[$\mathit{dim}$] – const IntegerCommunication Array

Note: the dimension, $\mathit{dim}$, of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array MUST be the same array passed as argument iopts in the previous call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc).

8:     opts[$\mathit{dim}$] – const doubleCommunication Array

Note: the dimension, $\mathit{dim}$, of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array MUST be the same array passed as argument opts in the previous call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc).

9:     fail – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{lcvalue}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{lcvalue}>1$.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

NE_INVALID_OPTION

On entry, either the option arrays have not been initialized or they have been corrupted.

On entry, the optional argument in optstr was not recognized: .

NW_TRUNCATED

On entry, optstr indicates a character optional argument, but cvalue is too short to hold the stored value. The returned value will be truncated.
