ttdt_Get_Modified(3) ToolTalk Functions ttdt_Get_Modified(3)NAMEttdt_Get_Modified - ask if any ToolTalk client has changes pending on a
file
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tttk.h>
int ttdt_Get_Modified(Tt_message context,
const char *pathname,
Tt_scope the_scope,
XtAppContext app2run,
int ms_timeout);
DESCRIPTION
The ttdt_Get_Modified() function sends a Get_Modified request in the
scope the_scope and waits for the reply. A Get_Modified request asks
if any ToolTalk client has changes pending on pathname that it intends
to make persistent.
The context argument describes the environment to use. If context is
not zero, messages created by ttdt_Get_Modified() inherit from context
all contexts whose slotname begins with the characters ENV_. That is,
the environment described in context is propagated to messages created
by ttdt_Get_Modified().
The pathname argument is a pointer to a pathname on which the client is
operating.
The the_scope argument identifies the scope of the request. If
the_scope is TT_SCOPE_NONE, ttdt_Get_Modified() tries TT_BOTH, and
falls back to TT_FILE_IN_SESSION if, for example, the ToolTalk database
server is not installed on the file server that owns pathname.
The ttdt_Get_Modified() function passes app2run and ms_timeout to
tttk_block_while(3), blocking on the reply to the Get_Modified request
it sends.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the ttdt_Get_Modified() function returns
non-zero if the Get_Modified request receives an affirmative reply
within ms_timeout milliseconds; otherwise, it returns zero.
