NAME

       SPI_getbinval - return the binary value of the specified column

SYNOPSIS

       Datum SPI_getbinval(HeapTuple row, TupleDesc rowdesc, int colnumber,
                           bool * isnull)

DESCRIPTION

       SPI_getbinval returns the value of the specified column in the internal form (as type
       Datum).

       This function does not allocate new space for the datum. In the case of a
       pass-by-reference data type, the return value will be a pointer into the passed row.

ARGUMENTS

       HeapTuple row
           input row to be examined

       TupleDesc rowdesc
           input row description

       int colnumber
           column number (count starts at 1)

       bool * isnull
           flag for a null value in the column

RETURN VALUE

       The binary value of the column is returned. The variable pointed to by isnull is set to
       true if the column is null, else to false.

       SPI_result is set to SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE on error.
