 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
      Tt_status tt_spec_bprop(
      const char *objid,
      const char *propname,
      int i,
      unsigned char **value,
      int *length);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The tt_spec_bprop function retrieves the ith value of the specified
      property.

      The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this
      operation.  The propname argument is the name of the property whose
      value is to be retrieved.  The name must be less than 64 characters.
      The i argument is the item of the list for which a value is to be
      obtained.  The list numbering begins with zero.  The value argument is
      the address of a character pointer to which the ToolTalk service is to
      point a string that contains the contents of the spec's property.  If
      there are i values or fewer, the pointer is set to zero.  The length
      argument is the address of an integer to which the ToolTalk service is
      to set the length of the value in bytes.
