NAME
tt_spec_move - notify the ToolTalk service that an object has moved to
a different file
SYNOPSIS
#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 appli-
cation can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_sta-
tus 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 ttsession(1) 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 tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the
address returned by the ToolTalk API.
For efficiency and reliability, the application should replace any ref-
erences in the application to the old objid with references to the new
one.
