NAME
       DtDbLoad -- load actions and data types database

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Dt/Action.h>
       void DtDbLoad(void)

DESCRIPTION
       The  DtDbLoad  function	loads  the actions and data types database into the application.  When the function returns, the database has been
       loaded.

       An environment variable determines the set of directories to be searched.  The DtDbLoad function loads all actions and data  types  defined
       in files with a .dt suffix located in these directories.

       The  directory search path is based on the value of the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable and internal defaults.  DTDATABASESEARCH-
       PATH contains a comma-separated list of directories in [host:]/path format.  The application must call DtDbLoad before calling any  of  the
       routines  that  query  either the action or data type databases.  If called multiple times, the old databases are freed before the new ones
       are created.

RETURN VALUE
       The DtDbLoad function returns no value.

APPLICATION USAGE
       If this function is used in a long-lived application, the application must dynamically reload the databases when they are modified.  To	do
       this,  the client must register to receive notification whenever the actions and data types database needs to be modified.  It is up to the
       application to recall DtDbLoad after receiving notification.  This is done with a call to DtDbReloadNotify(3).

       If errors are encountered when reading the database files, error messages are written to the  user's  errorlog  file  ($HOME/.dt/errorlog).
       Records containing errors are not incorporated into the internal database.
