     DtActionDescriptioUNIX System V (1 August 1DtActionDescription(3)

     NAME
	  DtActionDescription - obtain the descriptive text for a
	  given action

     SYNOPSIS
	  #include <Dt/Action.h>

	  char *DtActionDescription(char *actionName);

     DESCRIPTION
	  The DtActionDescription() function looks up and returns the
	  descriptive text associated with the actionName action.  The
	  actionName argument is the name of the action.  If there are
	  multiple actionName actions, the string returned is the
	  description of the most general.  The most general action is
	  the one with the lowest precedence, as described in
	  dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection'').

     RETURN VALUE
	  Upon successful completion, the DtActionDescription()
	  function returns a newly allocated copy of the description
	  string associated with the action; otherwise, it returns
	  NULL.

     APPLICATION USAGE
	  The DtActionDescription() function is useful for
	  applications that wish to present information to the user
	  about a particular action.

	  The application should use XtFree(3X) to free the
	  description string returned by DtActionDescription().

     SEE ALSO
	  DtAction(5), XtFree(3X), dtactionfile(4), dtdtfile(4).
