       Variable  I/O  Description
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       table      I   Name of table containing column.
       cindex     I   Index of column whose attributes are to be found.
       lenout     I   Maximum allowed length of column name.
       column     O   Name of column.
       attdsc     O   Column attribute descriptor.
#### Detailed_Input
       table          is the name of a loaded EK table.  Case is not
                      significant.

       cindex         is the index, within TABLE's column attribute
                      table, of the column whose attributes are to be
                      found.  The indices of the column table entries
                      range from 0 to ccount-1, where ccount is the value
                      returned by the entry point ekccnt_c.

       lenout         is the maximum allowed length of the output column
                      name, including the terminating null.  Column names
                      can be accommodated by a character array of length
                      SPICE_EK_CSTRLN.  This constant is declared in the
                      header file SpiceEK.h.
#### Detailed_Output
       column         is the name of the specified column.

       attdsc         is an EK column attribute descriptor.  See the header
                      file SpiceEK.h for details.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1)  If the specified table is not loaded, the error
           SPICE(TABLENOTLOADED) is signaled.

       2)  If the input argument cindex is less than 0 or greater
           than or equal to the number of columns in table, the error
           SPICE(INVALIDINDEX) is signaled.

       3) If the output string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
          is signaled.

       4) If the output string has length less than two characters, it
          is too short to contain one character of output data plus a null
          terminator, so it cannot be passed to the underlying Fortran
          routine.  In this event, the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is
          signaled.

       5) If the length of column (indicated by lenout) is at least two
          characters but not large enough to contain the output string,
          the output string will be truncated on the right.
#### Files
       The returned column name and descriptor are based on the currently
       loaded EK files.
#### Particulars
       This routine is a utility that allows a calling routine to
       determine the attributes of the currently loaded columns.
#### Examples
       1)  Dump the names and attributes of the columns in each loaded
           table.  ekcii_c is used to obtain column names and attributes.
