NAME
tt_file_objects_query - find all objects in the named file
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_file_objects_query(const char *filepath,
Tt_filter_function filter,
void *context,
void *accumulator);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_file_objects_query() function instructs the ToolTalk service to
find all objects in the named file and pass the objids to the filter
function. The context pointer and accumulator pointer initially speci-
fied are also passed to the filter function.
As the ToolTalk service finds each object, it calls the filter func-
tion, passing the objid of the object and the two application-supplied
pointers. The filter function performs its computation and returns a
Tt_filter_action value that tells the query function whether to con-
tinue or to stop. Tt_filter_action values are:
TT_FILTER_CONTINUE
The query function should continue.
TT_FILTER_STOP
The query function should stop.
The filepath argument is the name of the file to be searched for
objects. The filter argument is the filter function to which the
objids are to be passed. The context argument is a pointer to any
information the filter needs to execute. The ToolTalk service does not
interpret this argument, but passes it directly to the filter function.
The accumulator argument is a pointer to where the filter is to store
the results of the query and filter operations. The ToolTalk service
does not interpret this argument, but passes it directly to the filter
function.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_file_objects_query() function
returns the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status
values:
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 ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk
service cannot restart it.
TT_ERR_PATH
The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.
TT_WRN_STOPPED
The query operation being performed was halted by Tt_fil-
ter_function.
