with bt_ctf_field_type_get_type_id().
You can get a deep copy of a field type with bt_ctf_field_type_copy().

+@endcode
+
+A CTF IR <strong><em>enumeration field type mapping
+iterator</em></strong> is an iterator on @enumft mappings.
+
+You can get an enumeration mapping iterator from one of the following
+functions:
+
+- Find operations of an @enumft object:
+ - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_name(): Finds the
+ mappings with a given name.
+ - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_unsigned_value():
+ Finds the mappings which contain a given unsigned value in their
+ range.
+ - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_signed_value():
+ Finds the mappings which contain a given signed value in their range.
+- bt_ctf_field_enumeration_get_mappings(): Finds the mappings in the
+ @enumft of an @enumfield containing its current integral value in
+ their range.
+
+Those functions guarantee that the returned iterator can iterate on
+at least one mapping. Otherwise, they return \c NULL.
+
+You can get the name and the range of a mapping iterator's current
+mapping with
+bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_get_signed()
+or
+bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_get_unsigned(),
+depending on the signedness of the @intft wrapped by the
+@enumft. If you only need the name of the current mapping, you can
+use any of the two functions and set the \p range_begin and \p range_end
+parameters to \c NULL.
+
+You can advance an enumeration field type mapping iterator to the next
+mapping with
+bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_next(). This
+function returns a negative value when you reach the end of the
+result set.
+
+As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR enumeration field type mapping
+iterator objects have <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
+counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
+management of Babeltrace objects.
