.SH NAME
VVGETC - Gets the current value of a Vectors parameter of type
CHARACTER.
.SH SYNOPSIS
CALL VVGETC (CNM,CVL) 
.SH C-BINDING SYNOPSIS
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
.sp
void c_vvgetc(char *cnm, char *cvl, int len)
.SH DESCRIPTION 
.IP CNM 12
(CHARACTER, input) is the name of a parameter whose character value is
to be retrieved. Only the first three characters of CNM are examined.
The three characters may either be entirely upper or entirely lower
case; mixed case is not recognized. It is recommended that the rest of
the character string be used to improve the readability of the code.
For example, instead of just \'MXT\', use \'MXT - Maximum Vector Text
String\'.
.IP CVL 12
(CHARACTER, output) is a variable in which the value of the parameter
specified by CNM is to be returned.
.SH C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN
argument descriptions with the following exception:
.sp
.IP len 12
The size of cvl as dimensioned in the calling program.
.SH USAGE
This routine allows you to retrieve the current value of Vectors
parameters of type CHARACTER. For a complete list of parameters
available in this utility, see the vectors_params man page.
.SH ACCESS
To use VVGETC or c_vvgetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks,
and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.  
.SH MESSAGES
See the vectors man page for a description of all Vectors error
messages and/or informational messages.
