NAME
  tt_file_move - move objects from one file to another

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_file_move(const char *oldfilepath,
			 const char *newfilepath);

DESCRIPTION
  The tt_file_move function destroys all objects that exist on the files and
  directories rooted at newfilepath, then moves all objects that exist on
  oldfilepath to newfilepath.

  If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in the same file system, tt_file_move
  replaces oldfilepath with newfilepath in the path associated with every
  object in that file system; that is, all the objects in the directory tree
  rooted at oldfilepath are overlaid onto newfilepath.	In this mode, the
  behavior of tt_file_move is similar to rename2.

  If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, neither
  can be a directory.

  The oldfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory whose objects
  are to be moved.  The newfilepath argument is the name of the file or
  directory to which the objects are to be moved.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the tt_file_move function returns the status of
  the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: The operation
  completed successfully.
  The user does not have the necessary access to the object and/or the
  process.
  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 specified file does not exist or it is inaccessible.
  The ttsession1 process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot
  restart it.
  The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory, or oldfilepath
  and newfilepath reside in different file systems, and either is a
  directory.
  The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this
  operation.
