tt_spec_move(library call)                       tt_spec_move(library call)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      tt_spec_move - notify the ToolTalk service that an object has moved to
      a different file

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
      char *tt_spec_move(
      const char *objid,
      const char *newfilepath);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The tt_spec_move function notifies the ToolTalk service that this
      object has moved to a different file.

      The ToolTalk service returns a new objid for the object and leaves a
      forwarding pointer from the old objid to the new one.

      If a new objid is not required (for example, because the new and old
      files are in the same file system), tt_spec_move returns
      TT_WRN_SAME_OBJID.

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

      The newfilepath argument is the new file name.

 RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]
      Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_move function returns the new
      unique identifier of the object involved in this operation.  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.

      TT_ERR_PATH
                The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory.

      TT_WRN_SAME_OBJID
                A new objid is not required.

 APPLICATION USAGE    [Toc]    [Back]
      The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the
      address returned by the ToolTalk API.

      For efficiency and reliability, the application should replace any
      references in the application to the old objid with references to the
      new one.
