How to obtain the number of dimensions of Verilog array with VPI routines?

Anyone can show the example code?
Thanks a lot

Do you have PLI handbook by Stuart Sutherland. I think i saw some multidimensional arrays in one of its chapters on VPI

tariq786, thanks for your reply
I have the PDF file of this book, but it doesn't contain the appendix parts which list the diagram of Verilog objects.
And this book just simply introduces some routines about multi-dimension arrays such as vpi_handle_by_multi_index(), but hasn't told how to obtain the number of dimensions.

Thanks for your attentions.
A kind person has told me the method, shown as below:

unsigned dims = 0;
vpiHandle range = vpi_iterate(vpiRange, array_handle);
while (vpi_scan(range)) dims += 1;

Can you ask the kind person to take a look at my thread as well?
