returns a pointer to a character string that uniquely iden-
tifies the current default process type. If the pointer is

tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status
values from the returned pointer:
TT_OK The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_NOMP
The ttsession(1) process is not running and the
ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
TT_ERR_PROCID
The current default process identifier is out of
date or invalid.

stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.
