tt_spec_move(3)


CDE


NAME

  tt_spec_move - notify the ToolTalk service that an object has moved to a
  different file


SYNOPSIS

  #include <tt_c.h>
  char *tt_spec_move(const char *objid,
		     const char *newfilepath);


DESCRIPTION

  The tt_spec_move function notifies the ToolTalk service that this object
  has moved to a different file.

  The ToolTalk service returns a new objid for the object and leaves a
  forwarding pointer from the old objid to the new one.

  If a new objid is not required (for example, because the new and old files
  are in the same file system), tt_spec_move returns TT_WRN_SAME_OBJID.

  The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this
  operation.

  The newfilepath argument is the new file name.


RETURN VALUE

  Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_move function returns the new
  unique identifier of the object involved in this operation.  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_OBJID
      The objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing
      object spec.

  TT_ERR_PATH
      The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.

  TT_WRN_SAME_OBJID
      A new objid is not required.


APPLICATION USAGE

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

  For efficiency and reliability, the application should replace any
  references in the application to the old objid with references to the new
  one.
