tt_spec_create(3)
CDE


NAME
  tt_spec_create - create an in-memory spec for an object

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/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_error3 to
  extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:
  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 object type is not the name of an installed object type.
  The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The application should use tt_free3 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_write3.
