DESCRIPTION

The DtInfo_ShowInfoAtLoc request is a process-oriented ToolTalk message that causes dtinfo to display a particular section of data or topic. ToolTalk starts the browser if it is not already running. This corresponds to invoking dtinfo with the -sect option from the command line.

ARGUMENTS

ARG0 action

Name of the action to invoke to start dtinfo on a remote host, if necessary. Mode is TT_IN; type is string.

ARG1 exec_host

Name of the host from which the specified infolib is accessible. Mode is TT_IN; type is string.

ARG2 locale

Required locale. Mode is TT_IN; type is string.

ARG3 section

Specifies the infolib section, in generalized locator format. A generalized locator format provides applications with a mechamism for addressing infolibs as document collections with external navigation references. This mechanism is more precise than those which operate on an infolib at the file level, and is required by applications that want to tightly integrate to their online documentation. For more information, see "Generalized Locator Format" in dtinfo(1).

ATTRIBUTES

File filename

Specifies a file path, relative or absolute, to an information library. If the filename is not specified, the browser displays the default information library(s).
