Tt_status tt_pattern_class_add(

DESCRIPTION

The tt_pattern_class_add function adds a value to the class information for the specified pattern.

If the class is TT_REQUEST, the sending process expects a reply to the message.

If the class is TT_NOTICE, the sending process does not expect a reply to the message.

TT_NOTICE

A notice of an event. The sender does not want feedback on this message.

TT_REQUEST

A request for some action to be taken. The sender must be notified of progress, success or failure, and must receive any return values.

TT_OK

The operation completed successfully.

TT_ERR_NOMP

The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
