Library and Header Files

The Desktop Services library, libDtSvc, provides access to many desktop APIs, including that for data typing. Include the Dt/Dt.h and Dt/Dts.h header files to access the data-typing API.

If your application uses any of the data-typing APIs, or loads the actions and data-types database, it must first initialize the libDtSvc library by calling either DtInitialize() or DtAppInitialize(). Refer to the DtInitialize(3) or DtAppInitialize(3) man page for more information.
