NAME

       GD_SIZE — report the size of a GetData data sample

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       int GD_SIZE(gd_type_t type);

DESCRIPTION

       The GD_SIZE() preprocessor macro returns the size (in bytes) of a single sample of data of
       the type specified by type, which should be one of the symbols

              GD_NULL, GD_UINT8, GD_INT8, GD_UINT16, GD_INT16, GD_UINT32, GD_INT32, GD_FLOAT32,
              GD_FLOAT64, GD_COMPLEX64, GD_COMPLEX128, GD_UNKNOWN.

       Passing  GD_NULL  or  GD_UNKNOWN to this macro will return zero.  For the other types, the
       value returned is simply the bit-size encoded in the type symbol  divided  by  eight,  so,
       e.g., GD_SIZE(GD_COMPLEX64) will return 8.

       No  error  checking is performed on type: behaviour resulting from passing something other
       than the symbols listed above to this macro is unspecified.   See  gd_getdata(3)  for  the
       meaning of the above symbols.
