ttdt_open(3)

NAME
     ttdt_open - create a ToolTalk communication endpoint

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tttk.h>
     char *ttdt_open(int *ttfd,
                     const char *toolname,
                     const char *vendor,
                     const char *version,
                     int sendStarted);

DESCRIPTION
     The ttdt_open() function calls tt_open(3) and tt_fd(3).  It associates
     toolname, vendor and version with the created procid, and initializes the
     new procid's default contexts from the process environment.  If
     sendStarted is True, ttdt_open() sends a Started notice.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, the ttdt_open() function returns the created
     procid in a string that can be freed with tt_free(); otherwise, the
     ttdt_open() function may return any of the errors returned by tt_open(3)
     and tt_fd(3).

     No errors are propagated if sending the Started notice fails.
