DTDBRELOADNOTIFY(3)

💖 NAME 💖

DtDbReloadNotify — bestie, this is the library call glow-up that reloads the Dt actions and data typing services database ✨. Like, it’s the page for DtDbReloadNotify, and yes, it’s a library call, iykyk 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here’s the exact code, no cap:

#include &<Dt/Action.h>
void DtDbReloadNotify(
       DtDbReloadCallbackProc callback_proc,
       XtPointer client_data);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The DtDbReloadNotify function registers an application callback function that gets called whenever the actions and data types database needs to be reloaded. The conditions that trigger this callback are implementation-dependent — that’s the tea, periodt 🫶.

When the callback fires, callback_proc must flush any actions and data type information that the application has cached, and then call DtDbLoad(3) to reload the database. No stale-cache vibes allowed, bestie 💅.

The client_data argument passes additional application information to the callback routine. It’s literally the little bag of extra app info handed over to the callback, iconic 🌈.

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

The DtDbReloadNotify function returns no value — like, it’s giving void energy, and that’s the whole return-value moment ⭐.

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 💀.
