πŸ’… tt_otype_osig_op β€” the library call page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is the man page for tt_otype_osig_op, a library call from the ToolTalk crew, and it's genuinely so much less scary than it looks. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

tt_otype_osig_op β€” returns the op name of a notice signature of an otype. that's the whole gig. it's giving "small function, big purpose" πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_otype_osig_op(
    const char *otype,
    int sig);

yes bestie, that include line has a & in it and no i'm not touching it β€” copy it exactly as shown, that's the vibe 😭


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so, tt_otype_osig_op returns the op name of the *sig*th notice signature of the otype you hand it. literally just "give me the op name of this signature" and it does. iconic behaviour ✨

  • the otype argument is the object type involved in this operation. it's the main character here πŸ‘‘
  • the sig argument is the zero-based index into the notice signatures of that otype. zero-based, bestie β€” so the first one is 0, not 1. don't come for me, that's just how it is πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ RETURN VALUE πŸ”₯

upon successful completion (slay), tt_otype_osig_op returns the operation attribute of the specified notice signature.

and because pointers are chaotic, your app can call tt_ptr_error(3) to pull one of these Tt_status values out of the returned pointer:

  • TT_OK β€” the operation completed successfully. we love a happy ending πŸ’–
  • TT_ERR_NOMP β€” the ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. so nobody's home 😭
  • TT_ERR_NUM β€” the integer value passed was invalid (out of range). you gave it a number it simply could not deal with πŸ™ˆ
  • TT_ERR_OTYPE β€” the specified object type is not the name of an installed object type. that otype is not on the guest list πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ APPLICATION USAGE πŸŽ€

your app should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API. yes, actually free it β€” no leaking memory on my watch, bestie 🧚

okay that's the page!! and for the sign-off: this was tt_otype_osig_op(library call) β€” that's the source/version tag and the footer date situation, both living down at the bottom of the original. thanks for coming to my ted talk, mwah πŸ’œβ­πŸ“
