NAME
       tt_message_arg_xval  - retrieve and deserialize the data from a message
       argument

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       Tt_status tt_message_arg_xval(Tt_message m,
                                     int n,
                                     xdrproc_t xdr_proc,
                                     void **value);

DESCRIPTION
       The tt_message_arg_xval() function retrieves and deserializes the  data
       from  a  message  argument.   This function uses an XDR routine that is
       supplied by the client.

       The m argument is the opaque handle for the message  involved  in  this
       operation.   The  n  argument  is  the  number  of  the  argument to be
       returned.  The first argument is numbered zero.  The xdr_proc  argument
       points  to  the XDR procedure to be used to deserialize the data in the
       nth argument into newly allocated storage, the address of which will be
       stored in the pointer whose address is value.

       The value argument is the data to be deserialized.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful completion, the tt_message_arg_xval() function returns
       the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:

          TT_OK   The operation completed successfully.

          TT_ERR_MODE
                  The specified Tt_mode is invalid.

          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 cor-
                  rect type for this operation.

          TT_ERR_NUM
                  The integer value passed was invalid (out of range).

          TT_ERR_XDR
                  The XDR procedure failed on the given data, or evaluated  to
                  a zero-length structure.

APPLICATION USAGE
       The  allocation  calls  are  made  by the XDR procedure; therefore, any
       storage allocated is not allocated from the ToolTalk allocation  stack.
       The application should use the xdr_free(3) call to free this storage.
