<p>This is the prototype for all functions you pass as <em class="parameter"><code>help_func</code></em>

the various GIMP dialog constructors like <a class="link" href="GimpDialog.html#gimp-dialog-new" title="gimp_dialog_new ()"><code class="function">gimp_dialog_new()</code></a>,

<p>Help IDs are textual identifiers the help system uses to figure

your plug-in needs some more sophisticated help handling you can
provide your own <em class="parameter"><code>help_func</code></em>
which has to call <a href="/local/head/share/gtk-doc/html/libgimp3/libgimp3-gimphelp.html#gimp-help"><code class="function">gimp_help()</code></a> to
actually display the help.</p>
