url command in <callout>

niniti

This example I have taken from manual

callout

"
window-features="width=320, height=200,
resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes"/>

How does this path work ?
"iw_cgi_wrapper", "example_datacapture_callout.cgi" and "options.txt" are all contained in iw-bin directory ?

Structure in the example looke like a tree. But .cgi, .ipl and .txt are all file extnsions and it cant be file within file. What is this kind of structure called ? "

inline

"

how does "command" syntax work ? It will get the content from "/tmp/a/" and
"/tmp/b" both ? which file does it take information from ?
The directory structure is tmp/a i.e a is in tmp folder again /a/tmp/ , so is tmp folder in a and b is in tmp again, is this correct? or "/tmp/a" and "/tmp/b"
are both in /bin/cat/ folder ? I see space between "bin/cat" and "/" and again space between "tmp/a" and "/". Thats what prompts me to think that "/tmp/a" and "/tmp/b" are both contained in "/bin/cat" folder. If its true, what kind of directory structure is this ?

Pls explain

Yes - exactly.
iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi is what its name implies - a wrapper. its argument is another CGI script (example_datacapture_callout.ipl or .cgi depending on how it was written) the the wrapper then executes and its parameter options.txt is parsed by the example_datacapture_callout.ipl and used as a data file -- you need to look at the code for example_datacapture_callout.ipl to understand what it is doing with that parameter.

I'm not sure I understand the question - the whole thing is a URL and each program in turn takes information from the URL and uses it as it sees fit.

I already explained this one before - /bin/cat is not a folder - it is a program - a Unix program which takes one or more files as arguments which it then (by default) sends the contents of those files to STDOUT - 'cat' => 'concatenate' As you don't seem to know that, I can only assume you're a Windows person - in which case - ignore that example and look at the other examples I posted in response to your other thread.
