gd_naliases — report the number of aliases of a field in a Dirfile

       The  gd_naliases()  function  queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and counts the number of
       aliases of the entry (including the entry's name) specified by field_code.

       The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3).

       The gd_naliases() function appeared in GetData-0.8.0.

       gd_naliases — report the number of aliases of a field in a Dirfile

       Upon successful completion, gd_naliases() returns an unsigned integer indicating the number of aliases of
       the specified field code in the dirfile.  If successful, this count will be at least one.

       On error, this function returns zero and stores a negative-valued error code in the DIRFILE object  which
       may be retrieved by a subsequent call to gd_error(3).  Possible error codes are:

       GD_E_BAD_CODE
               The supplied field code was not found in the database.

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
               The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       A descriptive error string for the error may be obtained by calling gd_error_string(3).
