DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle(library call)									      DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle(library call)

NAME

       DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle -- obtains the long title of a book

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle  function  returns  the  long  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 long title, if the returned pointer to the title is not NULL.

RETURN VALUE

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

EXAMPLE

       None.
