NAME
gd_nfields -- report the number of fields in a dirfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h> unsigned int gd_nfields(DIRFILE *dirfile);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_nfields() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the number of fields defined in the database. No- tably, this count does not include /META fields. The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, gd_nfields() returns the number of defined fields in the dirfile. On error, it returns zero and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero error value. Possible error values are: GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE The supplied dirfile was invalid. 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).
