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.
