ttdt_file_notice(3)

NAME
     ttdt_file_notice - create and send a standard ToolTalk notice about a
     file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tttk.h>
     Tt_message ttdt_file_notice(Tt_message context,
                                 Tttk_op op,
                                 Tt_scope scope,
                                 const char *pathname,
                                 int send_and_destroy);

DESCRIPTION
     The ttdt_file_notice() function is used to create (and optionally send)
     any of the standard file notices:  Created, Deleted, Moved, Reverted,
     Saved, and Modified.

     The ttdt_file_notice() function creates a notice with the specified op
     and scope, and sets its file attribute to pathname.  The function adds an
     unset argument of Tt_mode TT_IN and vtype File to the notice, per the
     Desktop messaging conventions.  If send_and_destroy is True,
     ttdt_file_notice() sends the message and then destroys it; otherwise, it
     only creates the message.

     The context argument describes the environment to use.  If context is not
     zero, messages created by ttdt_file_notice() inherit from context all
     contexts whose slotname begins with the characters ENV_.

RETURN VALUE
     If send_and_destroy is False, the ttdt_file_notice() function returns the
     created Tt_message.  If send_and_destroy is True, it returns zero;
     otherwise, it returns an error pointer.  The application can use
     tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the
     returned handle:

        TT_DESKTOP_EINVAL
                The op argument was TTDT_MOVED and send_and_destroy was True.

        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_NOMEM
                There is insufficient memory available to perform the
                function.
        TT_ERR_NOMP
                The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk
                service cannot restart it.

        TT_ERR_OVERFLOW
                The ToolTalk service has more active messages than it can
                handle.  (The maximum number of active messages is
                implementation specific, but is at least 2000.)

        TT_ERR_POINTER
                The pathname argument was NULL or was a ToolTalk error
                pointer.

        TT_ERR_PROCID
                The specified process identifier is out of date or invalid.

APPLICATION USAGE
     The ttdt_file_event() function is a higher-level interface than
     ttdt_file_notice(), and is the preferred way to send all but the Moved
     notice.
