tt_spec_create(3)


CDE


NAME

  tt_spec_create - create an in-memory spec for an object


SYNOPSIS

  #include <tt_c.h>
  char *tt_spec_create(const char *filepath);


DESCRIPTION

  The tt_spec_create function creates a spec (in memory) for an object.

  The application can use the objid returned in future calls to manipulate
  the object.

  The filepath argument is the name of the file.


RETURN VALUE

  Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_create function returns the
  identifier for this object. The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to
  extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:

  TT_OK
      The operation completed successfully.

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

  TT_ERR_OTYPE
      The specified object type is not the name of an installed object type.

  TT_ERR_PATH
      The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.


APPLICATION USAGE

  The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the
  address returned by the ToolTalk API.

  To make the object a permanent ToolTalk item or one visible to other
  processes, the creating process must call tt_spec_write(3).
