tt_file_copy(3)

NAME
tt_file_copy - copy objects from one file to a new file

SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>

Tt_status tt_file_copy(const char *oldfilepath,

The tt_file_copy() function copies all objects that exist on the specified file to a new file. If any objects already exist on newfilepath, they are not overwritten by the copy (that is, they are not removed.)

The oldfilepath argument is a pointer to the name of the file whose objects are to be copied. The newfilepath argument is a pointer to the name of the file on which to create the copied objects.

    The operation completed successfully.
    The ToolTalk service could not access the ToolTalk database needed for this operation.
    The ToolTalk service could not access the specified ToolTalk database in the expected place. It does not appear to exist; administrative action is required.
    The specified file does not exist or it is inaccessible.
    The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.

    The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.
