my_bool mysql_stmt_bind_result(MYSQL_STMT *stmt,
        MYSQL_BIND *bind)
      
Description
        mysql_stmt_bind_result() is used
        to associate (that is, bind) output columns in the result set to
        data buffers and length buffers. When
        mysql_stmt_fetch() is called to
        fetch data, the MySQL client/server protocol places the data for
        the bound columns into the specified buffers.
      
        All columns must be bound to buffers prior to calling
        mysql_stmt_fetch().
        bind is the address of an array of
        MYSQL_BIND structures. The client library
        expects the array to contain one element for each column of the
        result set. If you do not bind columns to
        MYSQL_BIND structures,
        mysql_stmt_fetch() simply
        ignores the data fetch. The buffers should be large enough to
        hold the data values, because the protocol doesn't return data
        values in chunks.
      
        A column can be bound or rebound at any time, even after a
        result set has been partially retrieved. The new binding takes
        effect the next time
        mysql_stmt_fetch() is called.
        Suppose that an application binds the columns in a result set
        and calls mysql_stmt_fetch().
        The client/server protocol returns data in the bound buffers.
        Then suppose that the application binds the columns to a
        different set of buffers. The protocol places data into the
        newly bound buffers when the next call to
        mysql_stmt_fetch() occurs.
      
        To bind a column, an application calls
        mysql_stmt_bind_result() and
        passes the type, address, and length of the output buffer into
        which the value should be stored.
        Section 21.9.5, “C API Prepared Statement Data types”, describes
        the members of each MYSQL_BIND element and
        how they should be set to receive output values.
      
Return Values
Zero if the bind operation was successful. Nonzero if an error occurred.
Errors
            The conversion is not supported. Possibly the
            buffer_type value is illegal or is not
            one of the supported types.
          
Out of memory.
An unknown error occurred.
Example
        For the usage of
        mysql_stmt_bind_result(), refer
        to the Example from Section 21.9.7.11, “mysql_stmt_fetch()”.
