gd_nfragments

gd_nfragments(3)						      GETDATA							  gd_nfragments(3)

NAME

       gd_nfragments -- retrieve the number of format specification fragments in a dirfile

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       int gd_nfragments(const DIRFILE *dirfile);

DESCRIPTION

       The gd_nfragments() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the total number of parsed format specification
       fragments in the database.

       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_nfragments() returns the total number of format specification fragments which are present  in  the  dirfile.
       On error, gd_nfragments() returns zero and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero 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).
