NAME
     tt_spec_write - write the spec and any associated properties to the
     ToolTalk database

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

DESCRIPTION
     The tt_spec_write() function writes the spec and any associated
     properties to the ToolTalk database.  The type must be set before the
     spec is written for the first time.

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

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_write() function returns the
     status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:

        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_OTYPE
                The specified object type is not the name of an installed
                object type.

APPLICATION USAGE
     It is not necessary to perform a write operation after a destroy
     operation.

     Several changes can be batched between write calls; for example, the
     application can create an object spec, set some properties, and then
     write all the changes at once with one write call.
