     DtDtsDataTypeToAttUNIXtSystem(V)(DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeValue(3)

     NAME
	  DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeValue - get an attribute value for a
	  specified data type

     SYNOPSIS
	  #include <Dt/Dts.h>

	  char *DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeValue(const char *datatype,
					      const char *attr_name,
					      const char *opt_name);

     DESCRIPTION
	  The DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeValue() returns an attribute
	  value for the specified data type name.

	  The datatype argument is a pointer to a data type name
	  string.

	  The attr_name argument is a name of the attribute.

	  The opt_name argument can be used to specify a name to be
	  associated with the data type.  If the opt_name argument is
	  not NULL, it is used as a pseudo file name in typing;
	  otherwise, certain attributes may be returned as NULL
	  because the filename components could not be determined.

     RETURN VALUE
	  Upon successful completion, the
	  DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeValue() function returns a pointer
	  to a data attribute value string, or NULL if no value could
	  be determined.

     APPLICATION USAGE
	  The application should use the DtDtsFreeAttributeValue(3)
	  function to release the memory for the returned value.

	  The opt_name argument is useful when the attribute being
	  returned contains a modifier string that depends on having a
	  file name included.  For example, if the INSTANCE_ICON
	  attribute had the value %name%.icon, opt_name would be used
	  to derive the %name% portion of the attribute value.	See
	  dtdtsfile(4).

     EXAMPLES
	  The following takes a list of files as arguments and
	  determines the description and actions for each file:

	  #include <Dt/Dts.h>
	  #define ATTRIBUTE1  "DESCRIPTION"
	  #define ATTRIBUTE2  "ACTIONS"

	  main (int argc, char **argv)
	  {
