tt_spec_write(3)       C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS	 tt_spec_write(3)

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 associ-
     ated  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  Tool-
		Talk database needed for this operation.

	TT_ERR_DBEXIST
		The ToolTalk service could not access the  speci-
		fied 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.
