TLE structure from two-line string
tle = CL_tle_parse(str [, desc])
This function creates a TLE structure from two-line elements given as a two-line string.
The optional argument desc may be used to pass additional information (name of object...).
The created structure contains the same information as initially present in the string: there is no change of reference frame or time scale.
In case of parsing errors (unexpected characters encountered, bad checksum value(s)...), the status field in the TLE structure is set to a non-zero value:
-1: Error while trying to get the value of some field.
-2: Invalid checksum for the first or second line.
Note:
The checksum checking can be by-passed by removing the checksum characters in the two-line strings or by replacing them by an non-numeric characters.
(string) Standard two-line elements (2xN)
(string, optional) TLE Descriptions (1xN)
TLE structure containing all the (decoded) two-line elements (size N)
