NAME
tt_spec_bprop - retrieve the ith value of a property
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_spec_bprop(const char *objid,
const char *propname,
int i,
unsigned char **value,
int *length);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_spec_bprop() function retrieves the ith value of the specified
property.
The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this
operation. The propname argument is the name of the property whose
value is to be retrieved. The name must be less than 64 characters.
The i argument is the item of the list for which a value is to be
obtained. The list numbering begins with zero. The value argument is
the address of a character pointer to which the ToolTalk service is to
point a string that contains the contents of the spec's property. If
there are i values or fewer, the pointer is set to zero. The length
argument is the address of an integer to which the ToolTalk service is
to set the length of the value in bytes.

status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:
