Getting all available custom fields of a post type

I was googling for a while now. But i can’t find a function which retrieves me all available custom fields (even if they are empty) of a custom post type.
All i find are functions, which expect a $post_id to retrieve the fields of this specific post. But i want to get all available fields. Even if there is no field used in the post.
Something like this: get_acf_fields($post_type);

any ideas?!

i think i found it:

$group_NAME = 'Attribute';
$group_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'acf-field-group', 's' => $group_NAME) );
$group_ID = $group_query->post->ID;
$field_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'acf-field', 'post_parent' => $group_ID) );

the second query returns me all available custom fields of the fieldgroup “Attribute”
