Blt_TreeGetToken(3)	     BLT Library Procedures	     Blt_TreeGetToken(3)

________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
     Blt_TreeGetToken - Grabs a token associated with existing tree data object.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <bltTree.h>

     int
     Blt_TreeGetToken(interp, name, tokenPtr)

ARGUMENTS
     Tcl_Interp   *interp   (in)      Interpreter to report results back to.

     const char   *name     (in)      Name of an existing tree data object.  Can
				      be qualified by a namespace.

     Blt_Tree	  *tokenPtr (out)     Points  to  location  to	store the client
				      tree token.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
     This procedure obtains a token to a C-based tree data  object.   The  argu-
     ments are as follows:

     interp    Interpreter  to report results back to.	If an error occurs, then
	       interp->result will contain an error message.

     name      Name of an existing tree data object.  It's an error  if  a  tree
	       name doesn't already exist.  Name can be qualified by a namespace
	       such  as  fred::myTree.	 If  no namespace qualifier is used, the
	       tree the current namespace is searched,	then  the  global  name-
	       space.

     tokenPtr  Points to the location where the returned token is stored. A tree
	       token is used to work with the tree object.

     A	token  for  the  tree data object is returned.	Tree data objects can be
     shared.  For example, the tree and hiertable commands may be accessing  the
     same  tree  data object.  Each client grabs a token that is associated with
     the tree.	When all tokens are released (see Blt_TreeReleaseToken) the tree
     data object is automatically destroyed.

RETURNS
     A standard Tcl result is returned.  If  TCL_ERROR	is  returned,  then  in-
     terp->result  will  contain an error message.  The following errors may oc-
     cur:

     *	No tree exists as name. You can use Tcl_TreeExists  to	determine  if  a
	tree exists beforehand.

     *	Memory can't be allocated for the token.

EXAMPLE
     The following example allocated a token for an existing tree.

	    Blt_Tree token;

	    if (Blt_TreeGetToken(interp, "myTree", &token) != TCL_OK) {
		return TCL_ERROR;
	    }
	    printf("tree is %s\n", Blt_TreeName(token));
