getinfo

char *getinfo(char *record)

Return:

(char *)

pointer to an "info" string, or NULL

This function reads an "info" string from the `header' file for the specified record. Info strings are null-terminated and do not contain newline characters. The `header' files of some records may contain no info strings; others may contain more than one info string. To read additional info strings after the first, use getinfo(NULL). For example, the following code fragment may be used to read and print all of the info for record `100s':

...
char *info;

if (info = getinfo("100s"))
    do {
        puts(info);
    } while (info = getinfo(NULL));
...

(This function was first introduced in DB library version 4.0.)
