tttk_op_string(3)

tttk_op_string - map a ToolTalk op code to a string

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Added in IRIX 6.5.22.

NAME
     tttk_op_string - map a ToolTalk op code to a string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tttk.h>
     char *tttk_op_string(Tttk_op opcode);

DESCRIPTION
     The tttk_op_string() function returns a string containing the op for
     opcode.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, the tttk_op_string() function returns a
     string that can be freed using tt_free(3); otherwise, it returns NULL.

APPLICATION USAGE
     The distinctions in the Tttk_op enumerated type are for programmer
     convenience, and elements of Tttk_op do not necessarily map one-to-one
     with op strings, since ToolTalk allows ops to be overloaded.  For
     example, TTME_EDIT and TTME_COMPOSE are overloaded on the same op (Edit),
     and the messages only vary by the Tt_mode of the first argument.
