The GetEditionInfo function returns information about a section's edition

function returns the public information contained in the section's

control block.

Notes: The Edition Manager synchronizes to ensure that the existing edition

name corresponds to the Finder's existing edition name. If the control block

field of the section record is NIL, or the edition cannot be located, the

GetEditionInfo function returns an fnfErr result code.

The crDate field of the EditionInfoRecord contains the creation date of the

edition. The mdDate field contains the modification date of the edition.

The fdCreator and fdType fields are the creator and type of the edition file.

The container field includes a volume reference number, directory ID,

filename, script, and part number for the edition.

When the user wants to locate the publisher for a particular subscriber

(by choosing Open Publisher in the subscriber options dialog box), the

action code 'goto' is returned to you.

Use the GetEditionInfo function to find the edition container. You should

next use the GoToPublisherSection function to open the document

containing the publisher.
