       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  -------------------------------------------------
       r          I   Distance of point from z axis.
       lonc       I   Angle (radians) of point from XZ plane.
       z          I   Height of point above XY plane.
       radius     O   Distance of point from origin.
       colat      O   Polar angle (co-latitude in radians) of point.
       lon        O   Azimuthal angle (longitude) of point (radians).
#### Detailed_Input
       r          Distance of the point of interest from z axis.

       lonc       Cylindrical angle (radians) of the point from the
                  XZ plane.

       z          Height of the point above XY plane.
#### Detailed_Output
       radius     Distance of the point from origin.

       colat      Polar angle (co-latitude in radians) of the point.

       lon        Azimuthal angle (longitude) of the point (radians).
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       This returns the spherical coordinates of a point whose position
       is input through cylindrical coordinates.
#### Examples
       Below are two tables:  The first is a set of input values
       the second is the result of the following sequence of
       calls to Spicelib routines.  Note all input and output angular
       quantities are in degrees.

           convrt_c ( lonc, "DEGREES", "RADIANS", lonc  );

           cylsph_c ( r, lonc, z, &radius, &colat, &lon );

           convrt_c ( lon,  "RADIANS", "DEGREES", lon   );
           convrt_c ( lat,  "RADIANS", "DEGREES", lat   );

       Inputs:                         Results:

       r        lonc     z             radius   lon      colat
