TT_FILE_MOVE(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the library call manual page for tt_file_move — like, the tt_file_move(3) one. Its whole name-vibe is:

tt_file_move — move objects from one file to another ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_file_move(
const char *oldfilepath,
const char *newfilepath);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So tt_file_move does a two-step baddie move: it destroys all objects that exist on the files and directories rooted at newfilepath, then moves all objects that exist on oldfilepath to newfilepath. No cap 💅

If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in the same file system, tt_file_move replaces oldfilepath with newfilepath in the path associated with every object in that file system; that is, all the objects in the directory tree rooted at oldfilepath are overlaid onto newfilepath. In this mode, the behavior of tt_file_move is similar to rename(2). It’s giving rename energy, honestly 🦋

⚠️ If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, neither can be a directory. That part is strict, bestie.

The oldfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory whose objects are to be moved. The newfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory to which the objects are to be moved. Cute and simple 💖

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

Upon successful completion, the tt_file_move 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.
• TT_ERR_DBAVAIL — The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation.
• TT_ERR_DBEXIST — The ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in the expected place.
• TT_ERR_FILE — The specified file does not exist or it is inaccessible.
• TT_ERR_NOMP — The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
• TT_ERR_PATH — The specified pathname included an unsearchable directory, or oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems, and either is a directory.
• TT_ERR_POINTER — The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.

okay that’s the whole manual page, bestie 💖 — source/version is tt_file_move(library call), and the original footer doesn’t list a date, so I’m not making one up. periodt 🫶🎀
