tt_objid_equal(3)

NAME
     tt_objid_equal - test whether two objids are equal

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
     int tt_objid_equal(const char *objid1,
                        const char *objid2);

DESCRIPTION
     The tt_objid_equal() function tests whether two objids are equal.

     The tt_objid_equal(3) function is recommended rather than strcmp(3) for
     this purpose because the tt_objid_equal(3) function returns 1 even in the
     case where one objid is a forwarding pointer for the other.

     The objid1 argument is the identifier of the first object involved in
     this operation.  The objid2 argument is the identifier of the second
     object involved in this operation.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, the tt_objid_equal() function returns an
     integer that indicates whether the objids are equal.  The application can
     use tt_int_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from
     the returned integer:

        0   The objid1 and objid2 objects are not equal.

        1   The objid1 and objid2 objects are equal.

     The application can use tt_int_error(3) to determine if the integer is
     valid.  The tt_objid_equal() function returns one of the following
     Tt_status values:

        TT_OK   The operation completed successfully.

        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.
