tt_file_move(3)


CDE


NAME

  tt_file_move - move objects from one file to another


SYNOPSIS

  #include <tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_file_move(const char *oldfilepath,
			 const char *newfilepath);


DESCRIPTION

  The tt_file_move function destroys all objects that exist on the files and
  directories rooted at newfilepath, then moves all objects that exist on
  oldfilepath to newfilepath.

  If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in the same file system, tt_file_move
  replaces oldfilepath with newfilepath in the path associated with every
  object in that file system; that is, all the objects in the directory tree
  rooted at oldfilepath are overlaid onto newfilepath. In this mode, the
  behavior of tt_file_move is similar to rename(2).

  If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, neither
  can be a directory.

  The oldfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory whose objects
  are to be moved. The newfilepath argument is the name of the file or
  directory to which the objects are to be moved.


RETURN VALUE

  Upon successful completion, the tt_file_move function returns the status of
  the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:

  TT_OK
      The operation completed successfully.

  TT_ERR_ACCESS
      The user does not have the necessary access to the object and/or the
      process.

  TT_ERR_DBAVAIL
      The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for
      this operation.

  TT_ERR_DBEXIST
      The ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database
      in the expected place.

  TT_ERR_FILE
      The specified file does not exist or it is inaccessible.

  TT_ERR_NOMP
      The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot
      restart it.

  TT_ERR_PATH
      The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory, or
      oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, and
      either is a directory.

  TT_ERR_POINTER
      The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for
      this operation.
