detailattrib

<type> detailattrib(<geometry>geometry, string attribute_name, int ignored, int &success)

<type>[] detailattrib(<geometry>geometry, string attribute_name, int ignored, int &success)

<geometry>

When running in the context of a node (such as a wrangle SOP), this argument can be an integer representing the input number (starting at 0) to read the geometry from.

Alternatively, the argument can be a string specifying a geometry file (for example, a .bgeo) to read from. When running inside Houdini, this can be an op:/path/to/sop reference.

attribute_name

The name of the attribute (or intrinsic) to read.

ignored

Pass 0 for this argument.

success

The function sets this variable to 1 if the attribute was successfully read, or 0 otherwise.

Returns

0 if importing the attribute failed, the value of the attribute on success.
