NAME
  ttdt_file_event - use ToolTalk to announce an event about a file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/tttk.h>
  Tt_status ttdt_file_event(Tt_message context,
			    Tttk_op event,
			    Tt_pattern *patterns,
			    int send);

DESCRIPTION
  The ttdt_file_event function is used to create and send a ToolTalk notice
  announcing an event pertaining to a file.  The file is indicated by the
  pathname argument that was passed to ttdt_file_join3 when patterns was
  created.

  The event argument identifies the event.  If event is TTDT_MODIFIED,
  ttdt_file_event registers in the the_scope argument passed to
  ttdt_file_join3 to handle Get_Modified, Save, and Revert requests.
  Get_Modified is handled transparently by associating the modified state of
  the file with patterns.  Save and Revert requests are passed to the
  Ttdt_file_cb that was given to ttdt_file_join3.  If send is True,
  ttdt_file_event sends Modified in the_scope.	If event is TTDT_SAVED or
  TTDT_REVERTED, ttdt_file_event unregisters handler patterns for
  Get_Modified, Save, and Revert requests.  If send is True, ttdt_file_event
  sends Saved or Reverted, respectively, in the_scope.

  The context argument describes the environment to use.  If context is not
  zero, messages created by ttdt_file_event inherit from context all contexts
  whose slotname begins with the characters ENV_.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the ttdt_file_event function returns the status
  of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: The operation
  completed successfully.
  The ttsession1 process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot
  restart it.
  The ToolTalk service has more active messages than it can handle.  (The
  maximum number of active messages is implementation specific, but is at
  least 2000.)
  The patterns argument was NULL.
