<para><command>DtInfoLib</command> is a desktop object representing a
collection of book cases of documents that can be accessed through the
CDE Information Manager. <command>DtInfoLib</command> data criteria and
data attributes are identified for use by desktop facilities. These are
part of the CDE built-in data types.
</para>

of book cases available for a given information library. The contents of
the <command>DtInfoLib</command> directory are not visible to the
end-user through the desktop. The <command>DtInfoLib</command> object
can be launched directly by double-clicking on the associated icon or by
dragging the icon on to the Information Manager icon in the File Manager
