]]> ]]> ttdt_file_request library call ttdt_file_request create and send a standard ToolTalk request about a file #include <Tt/tttk.h> Tt_message ttdt_file_request Tt_message context Tttk_op op Tt_scope scope const char *pathname Ttdt_file_cb cb void *client_data int send_and_destroy DESCRIPTION The ttdt_file_request function is used to create (and optionally send) any of the standard Desktop file requests , ]]>such as Get_Modified, Save, and Revert. The ttdt_file_request function creates a request with the specified op and scope, and sets its file attribute to pathname. The function adds an unset argument of Tt_mode TT_IN and vtype File to the request, per the Desktop messaging conventions. If op is TTDT_GET_MODIFIED, ttdt_file_request also adds an unset TT_OUT argument of vtype Boolean to the request. The ttdt_file_request function installs cb as a message callback for the created request, and ensures that client_data will be passed into the callback. (The Ttdt_file_cb callback is described under &cdeman.ttdt.file.join;). If send is True, ttdt_file_request sends the request before returning the handle to it; otherwise, it only creates the request. The context argument describes the environment to use. If context is not zero, messages created by ttdt_file_request inherit from context all contexts whose slotname begins with the characters ENV_. RETURN VALUE Upon successful completion, the ttdt_file_request function returns the created Tt_message; otherwise, it returns an error pointer. The application can use &cdeman.tt.ptr.error; to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned handle: 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_NOMEM There is insufficient memory available to perform the function. TT_ERR_NOMP The &cdeman.ttsession; process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. TT_ERR_OVERFLOW 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.) TT_ERR_POINTER The pathname argument was NULL or was a ToolTalk error pointer. TT_ERR_PROCID The specified process identifier is out of date or invalid. APPLICATION USAGE The ttdt_file_request function is a lower-level interface than ttdt_Get_Modified, ttdt_Save, and ttdt_Revert, since the latter functions create and send the request and then block on its reply.
