NAME

       gd_protection — report the protection level of a dirfile fragment

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       int gd_protection(DIRFILE *dirfile, int fragment_index);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gd_protection() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the advisory
       protection level for the fragment indexed by fragment_index.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, gd_protection() returns the advisory protection level of the specified  frag‐
       ment, which will be one of the following symbols.

              GD_PROTECT_NONE, GD_PROTECT_FORMAT, GD_PROTECT_DATA, GD_PROTECT_ALL.

       The  meaning of these symbols are explained in the gd_alter_protection(3) man page.  On error, it returns
       -1 and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero error value.  Possible error values are:

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
               The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       GD_E_BAD_INDEX
               The supplied index was out of range.

       The dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3).  A descriptive error string for the last error
       encountered can be obtained from a call to gd_error_string(3).
