TTDT_OPEN(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the ttdt_open page from the library call manual — she's literally here to help you create a ToolTalk communication endpoint, and the vibe is immaculate 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ttdt_open — create a ToolTalk communication endpoint. that's the whole name, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Tt/tttk.h>
char *ttdt_open(
int *ttfd,
const char *toolname,
const char *vendor,
const char *version,
int sendStarted);

like, yes, that include line is exactly as written — we do not edit, we do not "fix," we copy the icon exactly as she appears 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: the ttdt_open function calls tt_open(3) and tt_fd(3). it associates toolname, vendor and version with the created procid, and it initializes the new procid's default contexts from the process environment. if sendStarted is True, ttdt_open sends a Started notice. that's the plot, bestie ✨

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

upon successful completion, the ttdt_open function returns the created procid in a string that can be freed with tt_free; otherwise, the ttdt_open function may return any of the errors returned by tt_open(3) and tt_fd(3).

important caveat, no cap: no errors are propagated if sending the Started notice fails. like, the Started notice can flop and that error is not getting passed along. 💀
