F77_CHARACTER_ARG_TYPE - Define the type of a FORTRAN CHARACTER argument

Description:
Defines the C type that corresponds to the type of a FORTRAN CHARACTER argument.

Invocation:
F77_CHARACTER_ARG_TYPE

Examples:

F77_CHARACTER_ARG_TYPE
will expand as follows:

All Unix: char
VAX/VMS: struct dsc$descriptor_s


Notes:
The type of the CHARACTER argument passed to a FORTRAN subroutine is not the same as the CHARACTER_TYPE on VMS so this macro is provided. It is unlikely to be used directly.
