  float *out;
and we set: 
  out = c_shgrid(n, x, y, z, f, nxo, nyo, nzo, xo, yo, zo, ier);
then out[nz*ny*i + nz*j + k] is the interpolated function value at coordinate point (xo[i], yo[j], zo[k]) for 0 <= i < nxo, 0 <= j < nyo, and 0 <= k < nzo. The space for out is allocated internal to c_shgrid and is nxo*nyo*nzo floats in size.
