+NAME
+skdecwstr -- open a sky coordinate descriptor using a system name
+.ih
+SYNOPSIS
+stat = sk_decwstr (csystem, coo, imcoo)
+
+.nf
+char csystem # the input celestial coordinate system name
+pointer coo # the output sky coordinate descriptor
+pointer imcoo # the input image sky coordinate descriptor
+.fi
+.ih
+ARGUMENTS
+.ls csystem
+The sky coordinates definition. Ccsystem is a system name, e.g. "J2000"
+or "galactic".
+.le
+.ls coo
+The output sky coordinate descriptor.
+.le
+.ls imcoo
+The parent image coordinate descriptor. Imcoo is set to NULL
+except in cases where the sky coordinate descriptor for an image is
+transformed and written back to the same image.
+.le
+.ih
+DESCRIPTION
+Sk_decwstr is an integer function which returns OK or ERR as its function
+value. ERR is returned if a valid sky coordinate system cannot be opened,
+OK otherwise.
+
+Sk_decwstr returns the sky descriptor coo. The sky coordinate descriptor
+is defined even if an error is detected in reading the image celestial
+coordinate system, and must be freed with a call to sk_close before
+task termination.
+
