TT_OTYPE_BASE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the library call manual, and this page is all about tt_otype_base — it returns the base otype of an otype. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_otype_base(
const char *otype);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tt_otype_base function returns the base otype of the given otype, or NULL if the given otype is not derived. no cap. ✨

The otype argument is the object type involved in this operation. that's the vibe. 🦋

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

Upon successful completion, the tt_otype_base function returns the name of the base otype; if the given otype is not derived, this value is NULL. The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:

• TT_OK — The operation completed successfully. 💅
• TT_ERR_NOMP — The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. 😭
• TT_ERR_OTYPE — The specified object type is not the name of an installed object type. 🫶

🧚 APPLICATION USAGE 🧚

The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API. literally don't forget, bestie. 🍓
