#include "dt_thor.h"

Description

Returns the "raw" string value of a datafield. A datafield's contents are normally accessed using dt_stringvalue(3), which expands indirect data. This function returns indirect datafields without expanding them. For datafields that are not indirect, it is identical to dt_stringvalue(datafield).

Return Value

Returns a string containing the datafield data. For all other objects, the datafield data is defined as the 'invalid string'.
