+  The subroutine below transforms an array of Fortran strings into one big string using ~TREXIO_DELIM~ symbol 
+  as a delimeter and adds ~NULL~ character in the end in order to properly pass the desired string to 
+  C API. This is needed due to the fact that strings in C are terminated by ~NULL~ character ~\0~.

+  The subroutine is a Fortran analogue of ~assert~ in C. It check that the the return code of the
+  TREXIO API call is equal to a given return code. It can optionally print a success message if the
+  two code are identical, i.e. if the ~assert~ statement pass.
