     NAME
          DtActionIcon - get the icon information for an action

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Dt/Action.h>

          char *DtActionIcon(char *actionName);

     DESCRIPTION
          The DtActionIcon() function gets the icon information for an
          action.  The actionName argument is the name of the action.
          DtActionIcon() returns the name of the icon associated with
          an actionName action.  If the action definition does not
          explicitly identify an icon name, this function returns the
          default action icon name, as described in dtactionfile(4)
          (``Action Selection'').  The default action icon name can be
          customized using the actionIcon X resource.

          If there are multiple actionName actions, the string
          returned is the icon associated with the most general
          action.  The most general action is the one with the lowest
          precedence, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action
          Selection'').

     RETURN VALUE
          Upon successful completion, the DtActionIcon() function
          returns a newly allocated copy of the icon name string (ICON
          field) associated with the action; otherwise, it returns
          NULL.

     APPLICATION USAGE
          The DtActionIcon() function is useful for applications that
          provide a graphical interface to actions.

          The application should use XtFree(3X) to free the icon name
          string returned by the DtActionIcon() function.
