tt_file_join(3)
CDE


NAME
  tt_file_join - register interest in messages involving a file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_file_join(const char *filepath);

DESCRIPTION
  The tt_file_join function informs the ToolTalk service that the process is
  interested in messages that involve the specified file.

  The ToolTalk service adds this file value to any currently registered
  patterns.  The named file becomes the default file.

  When the process joins a file, the ToolTalk service updates the file field
  of its registered patterns.  The tt_file_join call causes the pattern's
  ToolTalk session to be stored in the database.

  The filepath argument is a pointer to the pathname of the file in which the
  process is interested.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the tt_file_join function returns the status of
  the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: The operation
  completed successfully.
  The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this
  operation.
  The ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in
  the expected place.
  The ttsession1 process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot
  restart it.
  The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.
