     DtDbLoad(3)       UNIX System V (1 August 1995)	   DtDbLoad(3)

     NAME
	  DtDbLoad - load actions and data types database

     SYNOPSIS
	  #include <Dt/Action.h>

	  void DtDbLoad(void);

     DESCRIPTION
	  The DtDbLoad() function loads the actions and data types
	  database into the application.  When the function returns,
	  the database has been loaded.

	  An environment variable determines the set of directories to
	  be searched.	The DtDbLoad() function loads all actions and
	  data types defined in files with a .dt suffix located in
	  these directories.

	  The directory search path is based on the value of the
	  DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable and internal
	  defaults.  DTDATABASESEARCHPATH contains a comma-separated
	  list of directories in [host:]/path format.  The application
	  must call DtDbLoad() before calling any of the routines that
	  query either the action or data type databases.  If called
	  multiple times, the old databases are freed before the new
	  ones are created.

     RETURN VALUE
	  The DtDbLoad() function returns no value.

     APPLICATION USAGE
	  If this function is used in a long-lived application, the
	  application must dynamically reload the databases when they
	  are modified.	 To do this, the client must register to
	  receive notification whenever the actions and data types
	  database needs to be modified.  It is up to the application
	  to recall DtDbLoad() after receiving notification.  This is
	  done with a call to DtDbReloadNotify(3).

	  If errors are encountered when reading the database files,
	  error messages are written to the user's errorlog file
	  ($HOME/.dt/errorlog).	 Records containing errors are not
	  incorporated into the internal database.

     SEE ALSO
	  DtAction(5), DtDbReloadNotify(3), dtdtfile(4).
