Prototype and description of the function getepsgcrsname()

(Function of the unlock requiring group "Parameter determination")

getepsgcrsname()
Determination of the designation of a EPSG CRS by an EPSG code.

Prototype of the DLL function in C++ syntax (attend lower case!):
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) unsigned long __stdcall getepsgcrsname(
    unsigned short nEpsg,
    char **pszEpsgCrsName);

Prototype of the DLL function in Visual Objects syntax:
_DLL function getepsgcrsname(;
     nEpsg as word,;                       // 2 Byte
     pszEpsgCrsName ref psz);              // 4 Byte, char**, 55 alloc.
as logic pascal:geodll32.getepsgcrsname    // 4 Byte

The allocation of memory for "ref psz" / "char**" is necessary only if
setstringallocate(FALSE) is called before.


The function determines for an EPSG code the designation of the EPSG
Coordinate Reference System.

EPSG is the acronym for "European Petroleum Survey Group Geodesy". This is
a working group of the European oil and gas exploration companies. The EPSG
and their successors OGP "International Association of Oil and Gas
Producers" have made it to their task to build a system with globally
unique identitfiers (EPSG codes) for geodetic data, such as Coordinate
Reference Systems, Reference Ellipsoids or Map Projections.

Since the EPSG coding is used in many GIS and thus has obtained a high level
of awareness, we provide some functions, that simplifies the selection of
the required Coordinate Systems and Reference Systems when coding with GeoDLL.

Functions using EPSG coding:
coordtransepsg()   Coordinate Transformation with EPSG code
getepsg2geodll()   Determination of GeoDLL codes equivalent to EPSG code
getepsgcrsname()   This function


The parameters are passed and/or returned as follows:
nEpsg       Code of the EPSG coordinate Reference System for which the
            designation is to be determined.

pszEpsgCrsName  Pointer to the Designation of the EPSG Coordinate
(ref)       Reference System.
            Note: "ref pszEpsgCrsName" corresponds to "char**" in C. 55
            bytes of memory for the zero terminated string must be
            allocated with dependence to the call of the function
            setstringallocate(). Please consider the notes in the
            description of the function setstringallocate().

returnVal   In case of an error the function returns FALSE, otherwise TRUE.


Unlocking:
This function is a component of the unlock requiring function group
"parameter determination". It is unlocked for unrestricted use together with
the other functions of the group by passing the unlock parameters, acquired
from the software distribution company, trough the function setunlockcode().
Without unlocking only a few function calls for test purposes (shareware
principle) are possible.
