NAME
vuetypes - Generates a list of the HP-VUE action and file-
type definitions.
SYNOPSIS
vuetypes [-list] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Vuetypes is an HP-VUE client that lists the action and file-
type definitions. This is useful in understanding where VUE
is getting the information for its' databases and how it is
using that information to construct the databases.
Vuetypes lists the following information:
1. Syntax errors - if a syntax error is found in an
action or filetype definition, vuetypes will list the
name of the definition, the name of the file where the
definition is defined and a brief description of the
syntax error. Definitions with syntax errors are
ignored when a VUE component loads the action and file-
type databases.
2. Action and filetype statistics: the number of file-
types, the number of actions, the location of the data-
bases (in the host:/directory format) and the name and
location of the database files. If applicable, both
the VUE 2.0 and VUE 3.0 databases will be listed.
3. Definition warnings - if a definition contains
suspect data (such as an icon name that is not in the
icon search path), vuetypes will list the name and
location of the definition and a brief description of
the problem. Despite this warning, definitions in this
list are used by the VUE components when the action and
filetype database are loaded.
After the above information, vuetypes prints the following
"detailed" listings:
1. Filetypes - all of the VUE filetype definitions.
2. Actions - all of the VUE action definitions.
3. Action-based filetypes - this list contains useful
information for multiply-defined actions.
