# TibrvMsgField

Class

## Declaration

    class TibrvMsgField : public tibrvMsgField

## Purpose

Represent a message field.

## Remarks

Because the field object is identical to the C field struct, programs can use the struct’s accessors to get and set the field’s name, data, and other members.

Although a formal destructor is not needed, C++ declares a default destructor, which has no effect.

Method | Description
`TibrvMsgField()` | Create a message field object.
`TibrvMsgField::getCount()` | Get the number of elements in a field.
`TibrvMsgField::getData()` | Get the data value of a field.
`TibrvMsgField::getId()` | Get the identifier of a field.
`TibrvMsgField::getName()` | Get the name of a field.
`TibrvMsgField::getSize()` | Get the size of a field.
`TibrvMsgField::getType()` | Get the datatype of a field.

Member | Type | Description
`name` | `char*` | The field’s name. `NULL` signifies the empty string as the field name. Field name strings use the ISO 8859-1 character encoding.
`size` | tibrv_u32 | The size of the field’s `data` (in bytes). For array types, `size` reflects the size (in bytes) of one array element. For `TIBRVMSG_``STRING`, `size` reflects the number of bytes in the string (including the `NULL` terminator, if present). For `TIBRVMSG_``OPAQUE` and `TIBRVMSG_``XML`, `size` reflects the number of bytes of opaque data.
`count` | tibrv_u32 | The number of values in an array field. For array types, `count` is the number of array elements. For example, when a field contains a array of ten 32-bit integers, its `size` is `4`, and its `count` is `10`. (For scalar types, strings, XML data, and opaque byte sequences, `count` is `1`. That is, the field contains one string—not an array of characters; one opaque value—not an array of bytes.)
`data` | `tibrvLocalData` | The field’s data value.
`id` | `tibrv_u16` | The field’s identifier. Identifiers are optional, but must be unique within each message.
`type` | `tibrv_u8` | A Rendezvous datatype token denoting the type of the field’s `data`.
