DTINFO_PRINTINFOATLOC(4)

Hey bestie 💖 welcome to the DtInfo_PrintInfoAtLoc(special file) page — the special-file manpage about printing sections from an infolib. Let’s get into it, because this one is lowkey specific but highkey useful.

🌸 NAME 🌸

DtInfo_PrintInfoAtLoc — print a section or a list of sections from an infolib

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the whole flex is literally this:

DtInfo_PrintInfoAtLoc
        Class:  TT_REQUEST
        File:  temp_file
        Operation:  DtInfo_PrintInfoAtLoc
        Disposition:  TT_START
        Address:  TT_PROCEDURE
        Scope:  TT_FILE_IN_SESSION

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The DtInfo_PrintInfoAtLoc request routes print requests back to the requesting dtinfo process after the end-user drags one or more sections from the book list and drops them on the printer icon in the front panel. Iconic drag-and-drop behavior, honestly.

This message includes a file attribute that defines the name of a temporary file that contains a list of the sections to be printed. The syntax of the file list is shown below:

section[- section] {, section[- section}

Each section is represented by a generalized locator. See DtInfo_ShowInfoAtLoc(4) for a description of the generalized locator format. Sections can be specified using the hyphen character to represent a range of sections or by a comma-separated list of sections. So yes: ranges with -, lists with ,, and generalized locators doing their main character thing.

The temporary file is included in the scope to guarantee that the message is returned to this instance of the dtinfo process. That scope detail is not extra — it’s the whole point of keeping the message tied to this exact process. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

None. That’s it. Nothing. Nada. ✨

💖 ATTRIBUTES 💖
