ttdt_open(3)

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.
