NAME
tt_spec_write - write the spec and any associated properties to the
ToolTalk database
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_spec_write(const char *objid);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_spec_write() function writes the spec and any associated proper-
ties to the ToolTalk database. The type must be set before the spec is
written for the first time.
The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this
operation.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_write() 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_OBJID
The objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference
an existing object spec.
TT_ERR_OTYPE
The specified object type is not the name of an installed
object type.
APPLICATION USAGE
It is not necessary to perform a write operation after a destroy opera-
tion.
Several changes can be batched between write calls; for example, the
application can create an object spec, set some properties, and then
write all the changes at once with one write call.
