TT_FILE_DESTROY(3)

💅 tt_file_destroy

okay so this is tt_file_destroy, a library call in the ToolTalk manual set, and it's literally the cleanup bestie you call when a file or directory is about to leave the chat 💅✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tt_file_destroy — remove objected rooted on a file (that's the page's exact phrasing, bestie 🫶).

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_file_destroy(
const char *filepath);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The tt_file_destroy function removes all objects that exist on the files and directories rooted at filepath. No cap: all of them. The application must call this function when the application unlinks a file or removes a directory 🔥.

The filepath argument is a pointer to the pathname of the file or directory to be removed.

bestie, this is the "I'm deleting the thing, pls clean up the ToolTalk objects rooted there" call. You don't skip it 😭

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Upon successful completion, the tt_file_destroy function returns the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:

• TT_OK — The operation completed successfully. slay ✅
• TT_ERR_ACCESS — The user does not have the necessary access to the object and/or the process.
