TTDT_FILE_QUIT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is ttdt_file_quit from the library call manual section — manual name folded in near the top, no header copy-paste situation. It does exactly one iconic job: unregister interest in ToolTalk events about a file. 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

#include &<Tt/tttk.h>
Tt_status ttdt_file_quit(
Tt_pattern *patterns,
int quit);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so ttdt_file_quit is the cleanup bestie for the pathname that was passed to ttdt_file_join(3) back when patterns was created. It unregisters your interest in that pathname, destroys patterns, and sets the default file to NULL. That's the whole glow-up: patterns gone, default file NULL, no cap. 🦋

If quit is True, ttdt_file_quit calls tt_file_quit(3) with a pathname argument. But if quit is not True, it just returns without quitting — lowkey the “I’m leaving but not leaving leaving” option. 🙈

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

When the call wraps up successfully, ttdt_file_quit returns the status of the operation as one of these Tt_status values, fr fr:

• TT_OK — the operation completed successfully. slay.
• TT_ERR_DBAVAIL — the ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation. 😭
• 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 vibe.
• TT_ERR_POINTER — the patterns argument was NULL or otherwise invalid. check ur pointer, bestie. 🫶
• TT_ERR_PROCID — the specified process identifier is out of date or invalid. yikes. 🙈
