NAME¶
gd_spf — returns the samples per frame for a field in a dirfileSYNOPSIS¶
#include <getdata.h>gd_spf_t
gd_spf(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char
*field_code);
DESCRIPTION¶
The gd_spf() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the number of samples per frame for the field field_code. If field_code contains a valid representation suffix, it will be ignored. The gd_spf_t type is an unsigned 16-bit integer type.RETURN VALUE¶
Upon successful completion, gd_spf() returns the number of samples per frame for the field specified. 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 field specified by field_code was not found in the database.
- GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
- The supplied dirfile was invalid.
- GD_E_BAD_REPR
- The representation suffix specified in field_code was not recognised.
- GD_E_DIMENSION
- A scalar field was found where a vector field was expected.
- GD_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
- An internal error occurred in the library while trying to perform the task. This indicates a bug in the library. Please report the incident to the maintainer.
- GD_E_RECURSE_LEVEL
- Too many levels of recursion were encountered while trying to resolve field_code. This usually indicates a circular dependency in field specification in the dirfile.
