Common Desktop Environment: Programmer's Overview

Application Initialization and libDtSvc

If your application uses any of the libDtSvc APIs (for actions, data typing, drag and drop, Session Manager, or Workspace Manager), 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.
