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/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_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 objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing
  object spec.
  The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.
  A new objid is not required.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The application should use tt_free3 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.
