<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
|
|
<Para>The CreateAction client is used to create actions and datatypes to
|
|
integrate an application into the CDE.
|
|
CreateAction provides the most commonly needed functions including the
|
|
creation of actions for an application, creation of the associated
|
|
datatypes for the application's data files, and the ability to specify
|
|
the Open and Print actions for those datatypes. The output from this
|
|
tool is a actions and datatypes definition file placed within the
|
|
users $HOME/.dt/ types directory and an action file that is placed in
|
|
the users $HOME directory. CreateAction also provides the ability to
|
|
edit a action and datatypes definition file that was created using
|
|
this tool.
