This site doesn't have an on-line chat feature. But, if you search the site for threads with the tag ssh you'll get a list of ~200 threads discussing how to use ssh.

To learn more about command line structure (commands, utilities, arguments, options, operands, pipelines, ...), start by reading the man page on your system for the shell you use (most likely man bash, man dash, or man ksh depending on what Linux distribution you're using). I strongly suggest that you get comfortable using the shell before you try to dig too deep into ssh. When using ssh, you're dealing with a shell on your local system issuing shell commands to a shell on a remote system. You have to understand quoting so that you'll understand what the local shell will do and what will be passed to the remote shell.

If you try to do something and you can explain to us what you are trying to do, show us the input(s) you have, show us the output(s) you want, show us what you have done, and show us what you are getting from what you have done; we will be happy to try to explain where you went wrong and how to fix it.

DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(library call)									     DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(library call)

NAME

       DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle -- obtains the short title of a book

SYNOPSIS

       #include <DtMmdb.h>
       const char* DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(
       DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
       unsigned int* length);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle  function  returns	the short title of the specified book object. Do not use the free function on the returned
       pointer. 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.

       length	 Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned short title, if the returned pointer to the title is not NULL.

RETURN VALUE

       If DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the book's short title.  If it fails, it returns a NULL pointer.

EXAMPLE

       None.
