The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3).RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, gd_nmfields() returns the number of defined metafields for the given parent. On error, it returns zero and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero error value. Possible error values are: GD_E_BAD_CODE The supplied parent field code was not found, or referred to a metafield itself. 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).SEE ALSOdirfile(5), gd_open(3), gd_error(3), gd_error_string(3), gd_mfield_list(3), gd_nfields(3), gd_nmfields_by_type(3), gd_nmvectors(3) Version 0.7.0 16 July 2010 gd_nmfields(3)
