- <title>CALLBACK FUNCTIONS</title>
- <p>The following callback function must be implemented by each web
- based tool that will be used via WebTool. When started, WebTool
- searches the Erlang code path for *.tool files to locate all web
- based tools and their callback functions. See the <seealso marker="webtool_chapter">WebTool User's Guide</seealso> for more
- information about the *.tool files.</p>
