<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>The <function>DtMmdbBookGetTabList</function> function
returns the list of tab sections for the specified book object. It returns
the list in a NULL-terminated array. Use the <function>DtMmdbFreeHandleList</function>
function to release the memory when the array is no longer needed. Table lookup is
involved when the identifier is specified by either the
<symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol> or
<symbol role="Variable">sequence_num</symbol> field.

<title>ARGUMENTS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><symbol role="Variable">request</symbol></term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well
as a valid value in the <symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol>, the
<symbol role="Variable">secondary_oid</symbol>, or the
<symbol role="Variable">sequence_num</symbol> field.
The <symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol> represents the
DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the
<symbol role="Variable">secondary_oid</symbol> represents the
object identifier of the book itself; and the
<symbol role="Variable">sequence_num</symbol> represents
the sequence number of the book within the bookcase (0 based).
If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the
order of precedence is:
<symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol>,
<symbol role="Variable">secondary_oid</symbol>, and, last,
<symbol role="Variable">sequence_num</symbol>.
