✨ NAME ✨

Okay so welcome to the Revert(special file) page, bestie πŸ’… This one is short and iconic: Revert β€” discard any modifications to an entity. That's the whole name vibe, no cap.


🫢 SYNOPSIS 🫢

[file] Revert(in type ID);

That's the synopsis in all its minimal glory ✨


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The Revert notice asks that any pending, unsaved modifications to a persistent entity (such as a file) be discarded. Basically: undo the little changes, respectfully πŸ™ˆ

The ID argument is the identity of the entity to revert. When its type is File, then the ID argument is unset (in other words, it has a value of (char *)0), and it refers to the file or directory named in the message's file attribute. Yes, that exact (char *)0 tea β˜•


πŸ’€ ERRORS πŸ’€

The ToolTalk service may return one of the following errors in processing the Revert notice, so keep an eye out πŸ‘€

  • TT_DESKTOP_UNMODIFIED β€” the entity had no pending, unsaved modifications. Nothing to revert, bestie, it's already clean πŸ’…
  • TT_DESKTOP_ENOENT β€” the file to save/revert does not exist. Ma'am, where is the file 😭

πŸŽ€ APPLICATION USAGE πŸŽ€

The ttdt_file_join(3) function can be used to register for, and help process, the Revert request. Slay, registration 🫢

The Revert request can be sent with ttdt_file_request(3). Also, ttdt_Revert(3), can send the relevant message and block on the reply. Blocking on the reply is very main character energy πŸ‘‘
