Returned Integer Status

If an error occurs during a ToolTalk function that returns an integer, the return value is out-of-bounds. The tt_int_error function returns a status of TT_OK if the value is not out-of-bounds.

To check if a value is out-of-bounds, you can use the tt_is_err macro to determine if an error or a warning occurred.

To retrieve the character string for a Tt_status code, you can use tt_status_message.

Example 14-3 checks a returned integer.

Example 14-3 Checking a Returned Integer

Tt_message msg;
int num_args;
Tt_status tterr;
char *my_application_name;

num_args = tt_message_args_count(msg);
tterr = tt_int_error(num_args);
if (tt_is_err(tterr)) {
	fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s\n", my_application_name,
		tt_status_message(tterr));
}
