get_date


Description:

public bool get_date (string fieldname, out Date value)

Sets the date pointed to by value corresponding to the date of the given field.

Caller is responsible for making sure the field exists and has the correct type.

On success value will point to a newly-allocated copy of the date which should be freed with g_date_free when no longer needed (note: this is inconsistent with e.g. get_string which doesn't return a copy of the string).

Parameters:

this

a Structure

fieldname

the name of a field

value

a pointer to a Date to set

Returns:

true if the value could be set correctly. If there was no field with fieldname or the existing field did not contain a data, this function returns false.
