NAMEtt_file_join — register interest in messages involving a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_file_join(
const char *filepath);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_file_join function informs the ToolTalk service that the process
is interested in messages that involve the specified file.
The ToolTalk service adds this file value to any currently registered
patterns. The named file becomes the default file.
When the process joins a file, the ToolTalk service updates the file
field of its registered patterns. The tt_file_join call causes the
pattern's ToolTalk session to be stored in the database.
The filepath argument is a pointer to the pathname of the file in which
the process is interested.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_file_join function returns the sta‐
tus of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:
TT_OK The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_DBAVAIL
The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database
needed for this operation.
TT_ERR_DBEXIST

database in the expected place.
TT_ERR_NOMP

vice cannot restart it.
