TT_SPEC_FILE(3)

okay bestie, welcome to tt_spec_file(3) — it’s a library call page, and it’s literally here to grab the filename behind a spec 🦋 no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

tt_spec_file — retrieve the name of the file that contains the object described by the spec. periodt 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The tt_spec_file function retrieves the name of the file that contains the object described by the spec. it’s giving “give me the object id, I’ll give you the file name” energy ✨

The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this operation. that’s the main character argument, fr fr 👑

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_file function returns the absolute pathname of the file. slay.

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. iconic.
• TT_ERR_DBAVAIL — The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation. rude 😭
• TT_ERR_DBEXIST — The ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in the expected place.
• TT_ERR_NOMP — The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. not the ttsession disappearing act 💀
• TT_ERR_OBJID — The objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing object spec.

🫶 APPLICATION USAGE 🫶

The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API. yes bestie, clean up after yourself — it’s the polite thing to do 🧚
