+ Several helper functions are exported from the core server so that
+ authors of foreign data wrappers can get easy access to attributes of
+ FDW-related objects, such as FDW options.
+ To use any of these functions, you need to include the header file
+ <code class="filename">foreign/foreign.h</code> in your source file.
+ That header also defines the struct types that are returned by
+ these functions.

+
+ This function returns a <code class="structname">ForeignDataWrapper</code>

+ <code class="structname">ForeignDataWrapper</code> object contains properties
+ of the FDW (see <code class="filename">foreign/foreign.h</code> for details).
+ <code class="structfield">flags</code> is a bitwise-or'd bit mask indicating
+ an extra set of options. It can take the value
+ <code class="literal">FDW_MISSING_OK</code>, in which case a <code class="literal">NULL</code>
+ result is returned to the caller instead of an error for an undefined
+ object.

+

+ <code class="structname">DefElem</code>. NIL is returned if the column has no
