NAME

       gd_dirfilename — retrieve the name of a dirfile

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       const char *gd_dirfilename(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 an absolute pathname which refers to the dirfile base directory.

       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  path‐
       name  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).
