tt_spec_write(3)


CDE


NAME

  tt_spec_write - write the spec and any associated properties to the
  ToolTalk database


SYNOPSIS

  #include <tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_spec_write(const char *objid);


DESCRIPTION

  The tt_spec_write function writes the spec and any associated properties to
  the ToolTalk database. The type must be set before the spec is written for
  the first time.

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


RETURN VALUE

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

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


APPLICATION USAGE

  It is not necessary to perform a write operation after a destroy operation.

  Several changes can be batched between write calls; for example, the
  application can create an object spec, set some properties, and then write
  all the changes at once with one write call.
