TT_SPEC_TYPE(3)

🦋 tt_spec_type — the "what kind of object is this?" bestie detector 🦋

okay so real talk, this one is a library call from tt_spec_type, and honestly she's giving tiny-but-essential. you hand her an objid, she tells you the object type. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tt_spec_type — literally just returns the name of the object type 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the tt_spec_type function returns the name of the object type. iconic, no notes. 👑

the objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this operation — like, that's the thing you're asking about, bestie. 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

upon successful completion, the tt_spec_type function returns the type of this object. 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. we love a clean win 💖
• TT_ERR_DBAVAIL — the ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation. rude, honestly 😭
• TT_ERR_DBEXIST — the ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in the expected place. not her showing up to the wrong address 💀
• TT_ERR_NOMP — the ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. she's not home, and nobody can wake her up 🙈
• TT_ERR_OBJID — the objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing object spec. ghost objid. doesn't exist. periodt 🌈

ngl, that Tt_status list is the whole mood check — always run tt_ptr_error(3) on what you get back before you get attached, okay? 🧚

---

⭐ APPLICATION USAGE ⭐

the application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API. like, clean up after yourself, bestie — memory leaks are so not the aesthetic 🎀

okay that's the whole page, hope you ate that up 🍓 — this little icon is from the tt_spec_type(library call) corner of the manual, and for the record the footer said tt_spec_type(library call) too, so yeah, she's consistent. bye bestie, go free your pointers 💜🦋✨
