Subject: Get the type of a PV in C++ API

Hello everybody.
 
I have a small question. In the pvaClient library for C++ (https://docs.epics-controls.org/projects/pvaclient-cpp/en/latest/) there are many examples to get the value and other fields of a PV.
 
However, in order to get the value as a double, like in this example https://github.com/epics-rip/exampleCPP/blob/master/exampleClient/src/examplePvaClientGet.cpp, you have to previously know that the PV value is a double. Is there any method to get the type (int, long, double...) of the value field? Something like ->getType().
 
Thanks in advance.
