# mtext\_get\_properties(3m17n)

## NAME

mtext\_get\_properties -

## SYNOPSIS

int **mtext\_get\_properties** (**MText** \* *mt*, int *pos*, MSymbol *key*, **MTextProperty** \*\* *props*, int *num*)

## DESCRIPTION

Get multiple text properties. The **mtext\_get\_properties()** function searches the character at **pos** in M-text **mt** for properties whose key is **key**. If such properties are found, they are stored in the memory area pointed to by **props**. **num** limits the maximum number of stored properties.

## RETURN VALUE

If the operation was successful, **mtext\_get\_properties()** returns the number of actually stored properties. If the character at **pos** does not have a property whose key is **key**, the return value is 0. If an error is detected, **mtext\_get\_properties()** returns -1 and assigns an error code to the external variable **merror\_code**. \
