TT_SPEC_WRITE(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the tt_spec_write page from the ToolTalk library call manual, and it's literally about writing the spec + any associated properties into the ToolTalk database. no cap. tt_spec_write — write the spec and any associated properties to the ToolTalk database. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie, here's the whole signature vibe:

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

No missing args, no extra drama. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so tt_spec_write writes the spec and any associated properties to the ToolTalk database. The type must be set before the spec is written for the first time — that's mandatory, not a suggestion, bestie 💅.

The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this operation. That's the object's little name tag, iykyk. 🎀

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

Upon successful completion, tt_spec_write returns the status of the operation as one of these Tt_status values — collect them all if you must, but here's what each one means:

• TT_OK — the operation completed successfully. slay.
• TT_ERR_DBAVAIL — the ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation. big yikes.
• TT_ERR_DBEXIST — the ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in the expected place. not the expected place, bestie 😭.
• TT_ERR_NOMP — the ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. rip.
• TT_ERR_OBJID — the objid passed to the ToolTalk service does not reference an existing object spec. that objid is giving ghost.
• TT_ERR_OTYPE — the specified object type is not the name of an installed object type. not installed, not iconic.

🌸 APPLICATION USAGE 🌸

bestie, it is not necessary to perform a write operation after a destroy operation. so don't do extra homework for no reason 🫶.

Several changes can be batched between write calls; for example, the application can create an object spec, set some properties, and then write all the changes at once with one write call. that's the batch-and-slay pipeline ✨.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Tt/tt_c.h - Tttt_c(5) — yes bestie that's literally what it says 😭
• tt_spec_create(3)
• tt_spec_type_set(3)

cute sign-off: this is the tt_spec_write library call page, and the original footer doesn't list a source version or date — just the manual-call label — so no invented receipts, bestie 🫶. (No version, no date, we keep it 100.) 💜
