tt_spec_file(library call)												tt_spec_file(library call)

NAME

       tt_spec_file -- retrieve the name of the file that contains the object described by the spec

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_spec_file function retrieves the name of the file that contains the object described by the spec.

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

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion, the tt_spec_file function returns the absolute pathname of the file.  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.

NAME

       tt_spec_prop -- retrieve the ith value of the property associated with an object spec

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       char *tt_spec_prop(
       const char *objid,
       const char *propname,
       int i);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_spec_prop function retrieves the ith value of the property associated with this object spec.

       The  objid  argument is the identifier of the object involved in this operation.  The propname argument is the name of the property associ-
       ated with the object spec.  The i argument is the item of the list whose value is to be retrieved.  The list numbering begins with zero.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_prop function returns the contents of  the  property  value.   If  there  are  i  values  or  less,
       tt_spec_prop  returns  NULL.  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_NUM
		 The integer value passed was invalid (out of range).

       TT_ERR_OBJID
		 The objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing object spec.

       TT_ERR_PROPNAME
		 The specified property name is syntactically invalid.

APPLICATION USAGE

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

       If the returned value has embedded nulls, its length cannot be determined.
