### GetName(self) | source code
    const char*
    OGR_FD_GetName(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn)

    Get name of the OGRFeatureDefn passed as an argument.

    This function is the same as the C++ method OGRFeatureDefn::GetName().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to get the name from.

    the name. This name is internal and should not be modified, or freed.
Returns: char

### GetFieldCount(self) | source code
    int
    OGR_FD_GetFieldCount(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn)

    Fetch number of fields on the passed feature definition.

    This function is the same as the C++ OGRFeatureDefn::GetFieldCount().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to get the fields count from.

    count of fields.
Returns: int

### GetFieldDefn(self, *args) | source code
    GetFieldDefn(self, int i) -> FieldDefn

    OGRFieldDefnH
    OGR_FD_GetFieldDefn(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn, int iField)

    Fetch field definition of the passed feature definition.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::GetFieldDefn().

    Starting with GDAL 1.7.0, this method will also issue an error if the
    index is not valid.

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to get the field definition
    from.

    iField:  the field to fetch, between 0 and GetFieldCount()-1.

    an handle to an internal field definition object or NULL if invalid
    index. This object should not be modified or freed by the application.

### GetFieldIndex(self, *args) | source code
    GetFieldIndex(self, char name) -> int

    int
    OGR_FD_GetFieldIndex(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn, const char *pszFieldName)

    Find field by name.

    The field index of the first field matching the passed field name
    (case insensitively) is returned.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::GetFieldIndex.

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to get field index from.

    pszFieldName:  the field name to search for.

    the field index, or -1 if no match found.

### AddFieldDefn(self, *args) | source code
    AddFieldDefn(self, FieldDefn defn)

    void
    OGR_FD_AddFieldDefn(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn, OGRFieldDefnH hNewField)

    Add a new field definition to the passed feature definition.

    To add a new field definition to a layer definition, do not use this
    function directly, but use OGR_L_CreateField() instead.

    This function should only be called while there are no OGRFeature
    objects in existance based on this OGRFeatureDefn. The OGRFieldDefn
    passed in is copied, and remains the responsibility of the caller.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::AddFieldDefn().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to add the field definition
    to.

    hNewField:  handle to the new field definition.

### GetGeomType(self) | source code
    OGRwkbGeometryType
    OGR_FD_GetGeomType(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn)

    Fetch the geometry base type of the passed feature definition.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::GetGeomType().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the feature definition to get the geometry type
    from.

    the base type for all geometry related to this definition.
Returns: OGRwkbGeometryType

### SetGeomType(self, *args) | source code
    SetGeomType(self, OGRwkbGeometryType geom_type)

    void
    OGR_FD_SetGeomType(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn, OGRwkbGeometryType eType)

    Assign the base geometry type for the passed layer (the same as the
    feature definition).

    All geometry objects using this type must be of the defined type or a
    derived type. The default upon creation is wkbUnknown which allows for
    any geometry type. The geometry type should generally not be changed
    after any OGRFeatures have been created against this definition.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::SetGeomType().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  handle to the layer or feature definition to set the geometry
    type to.

    eType:  the new type to assign.

### GetReferenceCount(self) | source code
    int
    OGR_FD_GetReferenceCount(OGRFeatureDefnH hDefn)

    Fetch current reference count.

    This function is the same as the C++ method
    OGRFeatureDefn::GetReferenceCount().

    Parameters:
    -----------

    hDefn:  hanlde to the feature definition on witch OGRFeature are based
    on.
