NAME
tt_file_move -- move objects from one file to another
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h> Tt_status tt_file_move( const char *oldfilepath, const char *newfilepath);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_file_move function destroys all objects that exist on the files and directories rooted at newfilepath, then moves all objects that exist on oldfilepath to newfilepath. If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in the same file system, tt_file_move replaces oldfilepath with newfilepath in the path associated with every object in that file system; that is, all the objects in the directory tree rooted at oldfilepath are overlaid onto newfilepath. In this mode, the behavior of tt_file_move is similar to rename(2). If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, neither can be a directory. The oldfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory whose objects are to be moved. The newfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory to which the objects are to be moved.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_file_move function returns the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: TT_OK The operation completed successfully. TT_ERR_ACCESS The user does not have the necessary access to the object and/or the process. 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_FILE The specified file does not exist or it is inaccessible. TT_ERR_NOMP The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. TT_ERR_PATH The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory, or oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, and either is a directory. TT_ERR_POINTER The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.
