NAME

ttdt_open − create a ToolTalk communication endpoint

SYNOPSIS

#include <Tt/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.
