NAME

       ttdt_file_notice -- create and send a standard ToolTalk notice about a file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tttk.h>
       Tt_message ttdt_file_notice(
       Tt_message context,
       Tttk_op op,
       Tt_scope scope,
       const char *pathname,
       int send_and_destroy);

DESCRIPTION

       The  ttdt_file_notice function is used to create (and optionally send) any of the standard file notices: Created, Deleted, Moved, Reverted,
       Saved, and Modified.

       The ttdt_file_notice function creates a notice with the specified op and scope, and sets its file attribute to pathname. The function  adds
       an  unset  argument  of	Tt_mode  TT_IN	and vtype File to the notice, per the Desktop messaging conventions.  If send_and_destroy is True,
       ttdt_file_notice sends the message and then destroys it; otherwise, it only creates the message.

       The context argument describes the environment to use.  If context is not zero, messages created by ttdt_file_notice inherit  from  context
       all contexts whose slotname begins with the characters ENV_.

RETURN VALUE

       If  send_and_destroy  is False, the ttdt_file_notice function returns the created Tt_message. If send_and_destroy is True, it returns zero;
       otherwise, it returns an error pointer.	The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from  the
       returned handle:

       TT_DESKTOP_EINVAL
		 The op argument was TTDT_MOVED and send_and_destroy was True.

       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_NOMEM
		 There is insufficient memory available to perform the function.

       TT_ERR_NOMP
		 The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.

       TT_ERR_OVERFLOW
		 The  ToolTalk service has more active messages than it can handle.  (The maximum number of active messages is implementation spe-
		 cific, but is at least 2000.)

       TT_ERR_POINTER
		 The pathname argument was NULL or was a ToolTalk error pointer.

       TT_ERR_PROCID
		 The specified process identifier is out of date or invalid.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The ttdt_file_event function is a higher-level interface than ttdt_file_notice, and is the preferred way to send all but the Moved notice.
