NAME

       gd_error_count — report the number of errors encountered by the GetData library

SYNOPSIS

       #inlcude <getdata.h>

       int gd_error_count(DIRFILE *dirfile);

DESCRIPTION

       The  first  time gd_error_count() is called with the DIRFILE object dirfile, it returns the number of er‐
       rors encountered by the GetData library while operating on dirfile  since  its  creation.   Calling  this
       function resets the internal count, so that subsequent calls to gd_error_count() return the number of er‐
       rors encountered only since the previous call to this function, for the specified DIRFILE.

       The  errors  themselves  are  not  cached  by  the library.  The error status of the last library call on
       dirfile (which might be GD_E_OK, indicating no error) can be obtained by calling gd_error(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The gd_error_count() function always returns the number of GetData errors encountered since the last time
       it was called, or since the dirfile was created. This will be zero, if no error  has  occurred  over  the
       given time.

HISTORY

       The gd_error_count() function appeared in GetData-0.8.0.
