NAME

       gd_dirfilename — retrieve the name of a dirfile

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       const char *gd_dirfilename(const DIRFILE *dirfile);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gd_dirfilename()  function  queries  a  dirfile(5)  database specified by dirfile and
       returns its name.  The name of  a  dirfile  is  the  pathname  passed  to  gd_cbopen()  or
       gd_open() when the dirfile was opened.

       The  dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to
       gd_open(3).

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, gd_dirfilename()  returns  a  pointer  to  a  constant  string
       containing  the pathname of the dirfile.  On error, gd_dirfilename() returns NULL and sets
       the dirfile error to a non-zero value.  Possible error values are:

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
               The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       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).
