gd_dirfilename(3) GETDATA gd_dirfilename(3)NAMEgd_dirfilename — retrieve the name of a dirfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h>
const char *gd_dirfilename(DIRFILE *dirfile);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_dirfilename() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified
by dirfile and returns its name. The name of a dirfile is an absolute
pathname which refers to the dirfile base directory.
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_dirfilename() returns a pointer to a
constant string containing the pathname of the dirfile. On error,
gd_dirfilename() returns NULL 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 descrip‐
tive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from a
call to gd_error_string(3).
