💖 dtinfoaction — XCDE information management actions 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DtLoadInfoLib filename
Open filename
DtShowInfoAtLoc
DtPrintInfoAtLoc

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The XCDE Information Management Services support the following information management actions — here's the whole squad, no gatekeeping 💅

• DtLoadInfoLib filename — loads the information library that filename points at, and filename can be either a relative or an absolute file path, so do you 🫶 If filename is not specified, dtinfo displays the default information library(s). iconic behavior ngl.
• Open filename — loads the information library specified by filename. lowkey it just remaps to DtLoadInfoLib filename, so it's the same vibe with a cuter name 💖
• DtShowInfoAtLoc filename section — displays the section or topic specified by section that's contained within the infolib specified by filename. filename can be a relative or an absolute file path (yes, both slay). section specifies the information library section in generalized locator format. and here's the thing — dtinfo is started if it is not already running ⭐ This corresponds to invoking dtinfo with the -sect option from the command line. iykyk.
• DtPrintInfoAtLoc — prints one or more infolib sections from the desktop 🖨️✨ This action is invoked whenever a section or sections is dragged from the book list window in dtinfo and dropped on the printer icon on the front panel. drag-and-drop printing?? obsessed.

fr fr: these actions can be invoked from an application using the DtActionInvoke(3) function, or invoked from a command line using the dtaction(1) utility. pick your lane bestie, both work 💜
