tttk_op_string(3)

tttk_op_string(3)      C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS	tttk_op_string(3)

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); other-
     wise, it returns NULL.

APPLICATION USAGE
     The distinctions in the Tttk_op enumerated	type are for pro-
     grammer  convenience,  and	elements of Tttk_op do not neces-
     sarily 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.

SEE ALSO
     Tttttk(5),	tt_message_op(3), tt_free(3).
