NAME

Save — save any modifications to an entity

SYNOPSIS

[file] Save(in type ID);

DESCRIPTION

The Save notice asks that any pending, unsaved modifications to a persistent entity (such as a file) be saved.

The ID argument is the identity of the entity to save. When its type is File, then the ID argument is unset (in other words, has a value of (char *)0), and it refers to the file or directory named in the message's file attribute.

ERRORS

The ToolTalk service may return one of the following errors in processing the Save notice:

TT_DESKTOP_UNMODIFIED

The entity had no pending, unsaved modifications.

TT_DESKTOP_ENOENT

The file to save/revert does not exist.

APPLICATION USAGE

The ttdt_file_join(3), function can be used to register for, and help process, the Save request.

The Save request can be sent with ttdt_file_request(3). Also, ttdt_Save(3), can send the relevant message and block on the reply.
