NAME

       gd_error_count — report the number of errors encountered by the GetData library

SYNOPSIS

       #inlcude <getdata.h>

       int gd_error_count(DIRFILE *dirfile);

DESCRIPTION

       The  first  time  gd_error_count()  is  called  with the DIRFILE object dirfile, it returns the number of
       errors encountered by the GetData library while operating on dirfile since its  creation.   Calling  this
       function  resets  the  internal  count, so that subsequent calls to gd_error_count() return the number of
       errors encountered only since the previous call to this function, for the specified DIRFILE.

       The errors themselves are not cached by the library.  The error  status  of  the  last  library  call  on
       dirfile (which might be GD_E_OK, indicating no error) can be obtained by calling gd_error(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The gd_error_count() function always returns the number of GetData errors encountered since the last time
       it was called, or since the dirfile was created. This will be zero, if no error  has  occurred  over  the
       given time.

HISTORY

       The gd_error_count() function appeared in GetData-0.8.0.
