Field names and field descriptions

[Pak_YenLim]

How to export field names and field descriptions of a featureclass?

[JoeBorgione]

arcpy.ListFields() will give you a list of field names:  ListFields—ArcPy Functions | ArcGIS Desktop 

if by description you mean type, that's in there too....

import arcpy

fc = r'N:\GIS\Geocoding\Geodata.gdb\rawAddresses'


for field in arcpy.ListFields(fc):
    print(f'{field.name}  {field.type}  {field.length}')

#returns a list that looks like this:

OBJECTID  OID  4
ADDR_HN  String  12
ADDR_PD  String  12
ADDR_SN  String  60
ADDR_ST  String  40
