### Arguments

c | A cursor handle returned from a cursor or index search function
type | The address of a `MCO_CURSOR_TYPE` variable

### Description

> This function determines the validity of a cursor handle and returns the cursor type if the handle is valid.

### Return Codes

MCO_S_OK | The cursor type was successfully returned
MCO_E_INVALID_HANDLE | The cursor handle is invalid

### Example

        Application snippet:

        const char * dbname = "SimpleDb";

        int main(int argc, char* argv[])
        {
            mco_db_h db;
            MCO_RET rc;
            mco_device_t       dev;
            mco_db_params_t    db_params;
            mco_trans_h t;
            mco_cursor_t c;
            MCO_CURSOR_TYPE ctype;

            ...
            rc = mco_db_open_dev( dbname, simple_get_dictionary(), &dev, 1, &db_params );
            if ( MCO_S_OK != rc )
            {
                rc = mco_db_connect(  dbname, &db );
                ...
                rc = mco_trans_start(db, MCO_READ_ONLY, MCO_TRANS_FOREGROUND, &t);
                if ( MCO_S_OK == rc )
                {
                    ...
                    A_list_cursor( t, &c);
                    ...
                    rc = mco_cursor_type( &c, &ctype );

                    ...
                }
            }
