NAME
dtfile_error - the CDE File Manager error-dialog script
SYNOPSIS
dtfile_error error_message
DESCRIPTION
This script can be used by applications to display an error
dialog when it would be difficult or impossible to do in the
context of the executing program. For example, it can be
used when exec fails in a child process or if an error is
detected before an application's main window can be
realized. It can also be used from a shell script to display
an error dialog.
This script is used by File Manager to display an error
dialog when exec fails within a child process.
EXAMPLES
dtfile_error You did something wrong

The dialog consists of the message text, "You did something
wrong", and an OK button. Clicking on OK dismisses the
dialog.
execl(dtfile_error, dtfile_error, s, NULL);
Executed from within a program, this displays an error
dialog. The dialog consists of the message text in the
string s and an OK button. Clicking on OK dismisses the
dialog.
