VSsizeof/vsfsiz

int32 VSsizeof(int32 vdata_id, char *field_name_list)

vdata_id IN:

Vdata identifier returned by VSattach

field_name_list IN:

Name(s) of the fields to check

Purpose

Computes the size, in bytes, of the given field(s) for the local machine.

Return value

Returns the fields size if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.

Description

VSsizeof computes the size, in bytes, of the fields specified in the parameter field_name_list in the vdata identified by the parameter vdata_id.

The parameter field_name_list specifies a single field or several comma-separated fields. The field or fields should already exist in the vdata. If more than one field is specified, VSsizeof will return the total sizes of all of the fields.

FORTRAN

integer function vsfsiz(vdata_id, field_name_list)
