Num Fields


Type:	Four-byte integer of C type T_INT4
Default Value:	`0`
Valid Values:	Any integer greater than `0`

The num fields property identifies how many fields are in a particular message. Assigning this property truncates the message to desired number of fields. A value of 0 empties the data buffer completely.

Function to set value:

TipcMsgSetNumFields. This example empties the data buffer:

if (!TipcMsgSetNumFields(msg, 0)) { 
    /* error */ 
}

Function to get value:

TipcMsgGetNumFields. For example:

if (!TipcMsgGetNumFields(msg, &num_fields)) { 
    /* error */ 
}
