NAME
     Modified notice - an entity has been modified

SYNOPSIS
     [file] Modified(in	type ID);

DESCRIPTION
     The Modified notice is sent whenever a tool first modifies	a
     volatile, non-shared (for example,	in-memory) representation
     of	the persistent state of	an entity (such	as a file),  with
     the  intention of eventually making that representation per-
     sistent.

     The ID argument is	the  identity  of  the	modified  entity.
     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.

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

     The Modified request can be sent with ttdt_file_event(3).

SEE ALSO
     ttdt_file_event(3).  ttdt_file_join(3); Reverted notice.
