gd_fragmentname

gd_fragmentname(3)						      GETDATA							gd_fragmentname(3)

NAME

       gd_fragmentname -- retrieve a dirfile format specification fragment name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       const char* gd_fragmentname(const DIRFILE *dirfile, int index);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gd_fragmentname()  function  queries  a  dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the filename of the format specification
       fragment indexed by the non-negative index.

       The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3).

       The fragment with index equal to zero is always the primary fragment for the database (the file called format in the root dirfile  directo-
       ry).   The  largest  valid  value  of  index is one less than the total number of fragments, which may be obtained from a call to gd_nfrag-
       ments(3).

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, gd_fragmentname() returns a pointer to a read-only character string containing the file name of  the  specified
       fragment.  On error, gd_fragmentname() returns NULL and sets the dirfile error a non-zero error value.  Possible error values are:

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
	       The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       GD_E_BAD_INDEX
	       The supplied index was out of range.

       The  dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3).  A descriptive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from
       a call to gd_error_string(3).
