getattribinfo

Purpose
Accesses the id number and the type information of an attribute given its name.
An attribute name may be for example ROWS. Names are case-insensitive and may or may not have the _ prefix. The id number is the constant used to identify the attribute for calls to functions such as getintattrib. The type information returned will be one of the below integer constants defined in the xprs.h header file. The function will return an id number of 0 and a type value of TYPE_NOTDEFINED if the name is not recognized as an attribute name. Note that this will occur if the name is a control name and not an attribute name.
