DXGetStringAttribute

Function

Retrieves a named attribute from an Object, verifies that it contains a string, and returns a pointer to that string.

Syntax

#include <dx/dx.h>


Object DXGetStringAttribute(Object o, char *name, char **x)

Functional Details

The attribute to be retrieved from Object o is specified by the string name. It then verifies that the attribute contains a string value. If x is not NULL, a pointer to the string in the object is returned in *x. Do not release this memory or it will corrupt the object.

Return Value

Returns o if successful, returns NULL if it fails and does not set an error code.
