ttdt_open(3) — Subroutines
CDE
NAME
ttdt_open − create a ToolTalk communication endpoint
SYNOPSIS
#include <tttk.h> char ∗ttdt_open(int ∗ttfd,
const char ∗toolname,
const char ∗vendor,
const char ∗version,
int sendStarted);
DESCRIPTION
The ttdt_open function calls tt_open(3) and tt_fd(3). It associates toolname, vendor and version with the created procid, and initializes the new procid’s default contexts from the process environment. If sendStarted is True, ttdt_open sends a Started notice.
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).
No errors are propagated if sending the Started notice fails.
