9** Angular separation between two p-vectors.
10**
11** Given:
12** a double[3] first p-vector (not necessarily unit length)
13** b double[3] second p-vector (not necessarily unit length)
14**
15** Returned (function value):
16** double angular separation (radians, always positive)
17**
18** Notes:
19**
20** 1) If either vector is null, a zero result is returned.
21**
22** 2) The angular separation is most simply formulated in terms of
23** scalar product. However, this gives poor accuracy for angles
24** near zero and pi. The present algorithm uses both cross product
25** and dot product, to deliver full accuracy whatever the size of
26** the angle.
27**
28** Called:
29** eraPxp vector product of two p-vectors
30** eraPm modulus of p-vector
31** eraPdp scalar product of two p-vectors

62**
63** The ERFA version is intended to retain identical functionality to
64** the SOFA library, but made distinct through different function and
65** file names, as set out in the SOFA license conditions. The SOFA
66** original has a role as a reference standard for the IAU and IERS,
67** and consequently redistribution is permitted only in its unaltered
68** state. The ERFA version is not subject to this restriction and
69** therefore can be included in distributions which do not support the
70** concept of "read only" software.
71**
72** Although the intent is to replicate the SOFA API (other than
73** replacement of prefix names) and results (with the exception of
74** bugs; any that are discovered will be fixed), SOFA is not
75** responsible for any errors found in this version of the library.
76**
77** If you wish to acknowledge the SOFA heritage, please acknowledge
78** that you are using a library derived from SOFA, rather than SOFA
79** itself.
