.TH gd_error_count 3 "25 December 2016" "Version 0.10.0" "GETDATA"
.SH NAME
gd_error_count \(em report the number of errors encountered by the GetData
library
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #inlcude <getdata.h>
.HP
.SC
.BI "int gd_error_count(DIRFILE *" dirfile );
.EC
.SH DESCRIPTION
The first time
.FN gd_error_count
is called with the DIRFILE object
.ARG dirfile ,
it returns the number of errors encountered by the GetData library while
operating on
.ARG dirfile
since its creation. Calling this function resets the internal count, so
that subsequent calls to
.FN gd_error_count
return the number of errors 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
.I last
library call on
.ARG dirfile
(which might be
.BR GD_E_OK ,
indicating no error) can be obtained by calling
.F3 gd_error .
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.FN 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.
.SH HISTORY
The
.FN gd_error_count
function appeared in GetData-0.8.0.

.F3 gd_error_string
