Definition: | integer node = getd_index(object key, integer tid=1) |
Description: |
Retrieve the node index corresponding to the specified key.
tid can be omitted, to use the default dictionary, or the result of a previous new_dict() call. |
Comments: | If the key does not exist, a value of 0 (NULL) is returned. Otherwise the result can be passed to getd_by_index() to retrieve the corresponding data (without a further search). |
Example: |
?getd_index("key") |
