CDE


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

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/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: 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 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.
