tt_spec_move
library call
tt_spec_move
notify the ToolTalk service that an object has moved to a different file
#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
&cdeman.tt.ptr.error; to extract one of the following
Tt_status values from the returned pointer:
TT_OK
The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_DBAVAIL
The ToolTalk service could not access the
ToolTalk database needed for this operation.
TT_ERR_DBEXIST
The ToolTalk service could not access the
specified ToolTalk database in the expected place.
TT_ERR_NOMP
The
&cdeman.ttsession; process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
TT_ERR_OBJID
The
objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing object spec.
TT_ERR_PATH
The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.
TT_WRN_SAME_OBJID
A new
objid is not required.
APPLICATION USAGE
The application should use
&cdeman.tt.free; 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.
