Informix DataBlade API Programmer's Manual DataBlade API Function Descriptions

The mi_type_typedesc() function creates a type descriptor, given a type identifier.

MI_TYPE_DESC *mi_typedesc (conn, typeid_ptr)

MI_CONNECTION *conn;

MI_TYPEID *typeid_ptr;

conn	is a pointer to the connection descriptor a previous call to mi_open(), mi_server_connect(), or mi_server_reconnect() has established.
typeid_ptr	is a pointer to the type identifier for which mi_type_typedesc() generates a type descriptor.

Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_type_typedesc() function obtains the type descriptor for the type identifier that typeid_ptr references.

See the descriptions of the following functions: mi_type_align(), mi_type_byvalue(), mi_type_element_typedesc(), mi_type_full_name(), mi_type_length(), mi_type_maxlength(), mi_type_owner(), mi_type_precision(), mi_type_qualifier(), mi_type_typedesc(), mi_type_typename(), and mi_typedesc_typeid().
