NAME

       gd_raw_filename — retrieve the pathname of a binary file in a dirfile

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       char *gd_raw_filename(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gd_raw_filename()  function  reports  the  pathname  of  the file backing the RAW field specified by
       field_code in the dirfile specified by dirfile.  If field_code contains a valid representation suffix, it
       will be ignored.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success, gd_raw_filename() returns the full pathname of the binary file associated with the specified
       field in buffer allocated by malloc(3).  The returned pointer should be passed to free(3) once the caller
       no  longer  needs it.  On error, NULL is returned and the dirfile error is set to a non-zero error value.
       Possible error values are:

       GD_E_ALLOC
               The library was unable to allocate memory.

       GD_E_BAD_CODE
               The field specified by field_code was not found.

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
               The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       GD_E_BAD_FIELD_TYPE
               The field specified by field_code was not a RAW field.

       GD_E_UNKNOWN_ENCODING
               The encoding scheme of the specified field could not be  determined  or  was  not  understood  by
               GetData.

       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).
