Initializing the Toolkit

Your application needs to initialize and register with the initial ToolTalk session. To do so, it first needs to obtain a process identifier (procid). The following code snippet shows how to obtain a procid and how to initialize the toolkit.

// Obtain process identifier
    int myTtFd; //
Initialize toolkit and create a ToolTalk communication endpoint
    char *myProcID = ttdt_open( &myTtFd, ToolName, "SunSoft", "%I", 1 );

Your application must call ttdt_open before any other calls are made; otherwise, errors may occur.
