gd_fragment_index — retrieve the fragment containing a Dirfile field

       The gd_fragment_index() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns the index
       number of the fragment defining the field or alias named entry_name.

       This  is  one of the few GetData functions which does not resolve aliases: supplying the name of an alias
       as entry_name will return the index of the fragment containing the alias itself and not that of its  tar‐
       get.

       The get_fragment_index() function appeared in GetData-0.5.0.

       In GetData-0.7.0, this function was renamed to gd_fragment_index().

       In GetData-0.10.0, the error return from this function changed from -1 to a negative-valued error code.

       Upon successful completion, gd_fragment_index() returns the requested fragment index, which is never neg‐
       ative.  On error, gd_fragment_index() returns a negative-valued error code.  Possible error codes are:

       GD_E_BAD_CODE
               The entry specified by entry_name was not found in the database.

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
               The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       The  error  code is also stored in the DIRFILE object and may be retrieved after this function returns by
       calling  gd_error(3).   A  descriptive  error  string  for  the  error  may  be   obtained   by   calling
       gd_error_string(3).
