45.13 RecFields

RecFields( rec )

RecFields returns a list of strings corresponding to the names of the record components of the record rec.

    gap> r := rec( a := 1, b := 2 );;
    gap> RecFields( r );
    [ "a", "b" ] 

Note that you cannot use the string result in the ordinary way to access or change a record component. You must use the rec.(name) construct (see Accessing Record Elements and Record Assignment).
