NAME

tt_message_handler — retrieve the handler attribute from a message

SYNOPSIS

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_message_handler(
Tt_message m);

DESCRIPTION

The tt_message_handler function retrieves the handler attribute from the specified message.

The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the tt_message_handler function returns the character value that uniquely identifies the process that is to handle the message (Tt_state = TT_CREATED or TT_SENT) or the process that did handle the message (Tt_state = TT_SENT or TT_HANDLED). The application can use 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_POINTER

The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.

APPLICATION USAGE

The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.
