tttk_op_string(3) ToolTalk Functions tttk_op_string(3)NAMEtttk_op_string - map a ToolTalk op code to a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tttk.h>
char *tttk_op_string(Tttk_op opcode);
DESCRIPTION
The tttk_op_string() function returns a string containing the op for
opcode.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tttk_op_string() function returns a
string that can be freed using tt_free(3); otherwise, it returns NULL.
APPLICATION USAGE
The distinctions in the Tttk_op enumerated type are for programmer con‐
venience, and elements of Tttk_op do not necessarily map one-to-one
with op strings, since ToolTalk allows ops to be overloaded. For exam‐
ple, TTME_EDIT and TTME_COMPOSE are overloaded on the same op (Edit),
and the messages only vary by the Tt_mode of the first argument.
