SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_spec_write(
const char *objid);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_spec_write function writes the spec and any associated proper‐
ties to the ToolTalk database. The type must be set before the spec is
written for the first time.
The objid argument is the identifier of the object involved in this
operation.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_spec_write 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.

an existing object spec.
TT_ERR_OTYPE

object type.
APPLICATION USAGE
It is not necessary to perform a write operation after a destroy opera‐
tion.
Several changes can be batched between write calls; for example, the
application can create an object spec, set some properties, and then
write all the changes at once with one write call.
