NAME

       tt_malloc -- allocate storage on the ToolTalk API allocation stack

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       caddr_t tt_malloc(
       size_t s);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_malloc function allocates storage on the ToolTalk API allocation stack.

       The s argument is the amount of storage to be allocated in bytes.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion,  the tt_malloc function returns the address of the storage in the ToolTalk API allocation stack that is to be
       allocated.  If NULL is returned, no storage is available.

APPLICATION USAGE

       This function allows the application-provided callback routines to take advantage of the allocation stack;  for	example,  a  query  filter
       function can allocate storage to accumulate a result.

NAME

       tt_spec_type -- return the name of the object type

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       char *tt_spec_type(
       const char *objid);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_spec_type function returns the name of the object type.

       The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this operation.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, the tt_spec_type function returns the type of this object.	The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract
       one of the following Tt_status 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.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.
