The output is located in your C:Windowssigverif.txt file.

DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(library call) DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(library call)
NAME
DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId -- obtains the locator of a book's TOC section
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
DtMmdbHandle* DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId function returns the object identifier of the specified book's TOC section. Use the DtMmdbFreeHandleList
function to release the memory when the object identifier is no longer needed. Table lookup is involved when the identifier is specified by
either the primary_oid or sequence_num field.
ARGUMENTS
request Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well as a valid value in the primary_oid, the secondary_oid, or the
sequence_num field. The primary_oid represents the DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the secondary_oid rep-
resents the object identifier of the book itself; and the sequence_num represents the sequence number of the book within the
bookcase (0 based). If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the order of precedence is: primary_oid, secondary_oid,
and, last, sequence_num.
RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the object identifier for the book's TOC section. If it fails,
it returns a NULL pointer.
EXAMPLE
The following shows how a DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId call might be coded.
DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
request.bookcase_descriptor = DtMmdbGetBookCase(myInfoLibPtr, "myBase");
request.sequence_num = 1;
DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(&request);
