SYNOPSIS

  -t  Print trace output. Of particular interest is that ttsnoop will print
      example ToolTalk API code in the invoking OpenWindows cmdtool (or
      console if ttsnoop is invoked via a menu choice) showing what ToolTalk
      API calls are being used to construct a particular pattern or message.

DESCRIPTION
  Then ttsnoop utility allows its user to create and send custom constructed
  ToolTalk messages, and to selectively monitor any or all ToolTalk messages
  on your system.

  Once the ttsnoop utility is started, pressing the square "Start" button on
  the upper left of the main panel activates message reception. The ttsnoop
  utility will now display any incoming messages which match the registered
  patterns. The initial pattern registered matches all messages.

  The main panel of ttsnoop has several buttons:

  Pressing the "Messages..." button will pops up a panel which allows the
  user to compose and send ToolTalk messages. Refer to the ToolTalk Reference
  Manual to understand what the myriad of choices mean. Note that sending
  message contexts requires pressing the "Edit Contexts" button to bring up
  another popup, which will allow you to edit contexts to be sent with your
  messages.

  Pressing the "Patterns..." button will popup a panel which allows the user
  to compose and register ToolTalk patterns. Refer to the ToolTalk Reference
  Manual to understand what the myriad of choices mean. By registering
  appropriate patterns, a programmer can use ttsnoop as a debugging tool to
  observe what messages are being sent by other applications.  Note that
  using message contexts in patterns requires pressing the "Edit Contexts"
  button to bring up another popup, which will allow the user to edit
  contexts to be registered with your patterns.

  Pressing the "Display..." button will popup a panel of checkboxes, each of
  which controls the highlighting of a specific ToolTalk message component on
  the ttsnoop display subwindow. Selected components will be indicated on
  displayed messages by a "--->" to the left of the displayed message
  component.

  Using the "Send Message" button allows you send one of a number of pre-
  selected messages, created by the "Add Message" button on the "Messages..."
  popup panel.
