The ts_colinfo_name() function

The ts_colinfo_name() function gets type information for a column in a time series.

Syntax

ts_typeinfo *
ts_colinfo_name (ts_tsdesc *tsdesc, 
                 mi_string *colname)
tsdesc
A time series descriptor returned by ts_open().
colname
The name of the column to return information for.

Description

The resulting typeinfo structure and its ti_typename field must be freed by the caller.

Returns

A pointer to a ts_typeinfo structure. This structure is defined as follows: 
typedef struct _ts_typeinfo
{
   MI_TYPEID         *ti_typeid; /* type id */
   mi_integer         ti_typelen; /* internal length */
   mi_smallint         ti_typealign; /* internal alignment */
   mi_smallint         ti_typebyvalue; /* internal byvalue flag */
   mi_integer         ti_typebound; /* internal bound */
   mi_integer         ti_typeparameter; /* internal parameter */
   mi_string       *ti_typename; /* type name of the column */
} ts_typeinfo;
