tttk_op_string(3) — Subroutines
CDE
NAME
tttk_op_string − map a ToolTalk op code to a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <tttk.h> char ∗tttk_op_string(Tttk_op opcode);
DESCRIPTION
The tttk_op_string function returns a string containing the op for opcode.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tttk_op_string function returns a string that can be freed using tt_free(3); otherwise, it returns NULL.
APPLICATION USAGE
The distinctions in the Tttk_op enumerated type are for programmer convenience, and elements of Tttk_op do not necessarily map one-to-one with op strings, since ToolTalk allows ops to be overloaded. For example, TTME_EDIT and TTME_COMPOSE are overloaded on the same op (Edit), and the messages only vary by the Tt_mode of the first argument.
