Purpose

Synopsis
`int getlisttype(XPRMlist list);`
Argument

list | Reference to a list

Return value
List type.
Further information
The type of a list is both the type of all elements of the list (as a type code) and the storage class used for the list. The element type code can be extracted using the macro XPRM_TYP(type). Note that a list with no type ( XPRM_TYP_NOT) contains elements of different types. In this case the type of each element has to be checked when enumerating the content of the list with getnextlistelt. The storage class can be extracted using the macro XPRM_GRP(type). If the bit XPRM_GRP_DYN is set, the list is dynamic and may be modified.
