   Name
       mysql_stmt_result_metadata - Returns result set metadata from a
       prepared statement.

   Synopsis

              #include <mysql.h>

              MYSQL_RES * mysql_stmt_result_metadata(MYSQL_STMT * stmt);


   Description
       If a statement passed to mysql_stmt_prepare(3) is one that produces a
       result set, mysql_stmt_result_metadata() returns the result set that
       can be used to process the meta information such as total number of
       fields and individual field information.

   Parameter
       o stmt - a statement handle, which was previously allocated by
         mysql_stmt_init(3).

   Return value
       Returns a result set that can be used to process metadata information.

   Notes
       o The result set returned by mysql_stmt_result_metadata() contains only
         metadata.  It does not contain any row results.  The rows are
         obtained by mysql_stmt_fetch(3).

       o This result set pointer can be passed as an argument to any of the
         field-based functions that process result set metadata, such as:
         mysql_num_fields(3), mysql_fetch_field(3),
         mysql_fetch_field_direct(3), mysql_fetch_fields(3),
         mysql_field_count(3), mysql_field_seek(3), mysql_field_tell(3),
         mysql_free_result(3)
