ttsample1(6) ToolTalk Demos ttsample1(6)NAME
ttsample1, broadcast - demonstrate simple use of ToolTalk
SYNOPSIS
broadcast
DESCRIPTION
The broadcast utility is provided as demo code for the ToolTalk prod‐
uct. This program is compiled by copying the files in the directory
/usr/dt/share/examples/tt to a convenient spot and invoking the make(1)
utility. This will pop up an application with a single button, slider,
and a scale reflecting the value last received. By starting several
instances of the application, setting the slider in each to a different
value, and pushing the button in each instance, the effect of broad‐
casting the value can be seen. The ttsnoop(1) and tttrace(1) utilities
can be used to monitor the contents of the ToolTalk messages sent by
broadcast.

If you try and invoke broadcast (or any ToolTalk application) and you
get a message saying the application could not start ToolTalk, or
ttsession, make sure that you have one of the environment variables
DISPLAY or TT_SESSION set, and that ttsession is in your PATH, or that
the TTSESSION_CMD environment variable indicates where the ttsession
program resides. For more information on ttsession and the environment
variables it uses, see the ttsession man page.
