NAME
  DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeList - get a list of attributes for a data type

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Dt/Dts.h>
  DtDtsAttribute **DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeList(const char *datatype,
						const char *opt_name);

DESCRIPTION
  The DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeList function returns a list of attributes for
  a data type.

  The datatype argument is a pointer to a data type name string.

  The opt_name argument can be used to specify a name to be associated with
  the data type.  If the opt_name argument is not NULL, it is used as a
  pseudo file name in typing; otherwise, certain attributes may be returned
  as NULL because the filename components could not be determined.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the DtDtsDataTypeToAttributeList function
  returns a NULL-terminated array of pointers of *DtDtsAttribute, or NULL if
  no value could be determined.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The application should use the DtDtsFreeAttributeList3 function to release
  the memory for the returned value.

  The opt_name argument is useful when the attribute being returned contains
  a modifier string that depends on having a file name included.  For
  example, if the INSTANCE_ICON attribute had the value %name%.icon, opt_name
  would be used to derive the %name% portion of the attribute value.  See
  dtdtsfile(4).
