tt_message_create(3) ToolTalk Functions tt_message_create(3) NAME tt_message_create - create a new message object SYNOPSIS #include <Tt/tt_c.h> Tt_message tt_message_create(void); DESCRIPTION The tt_message_create() function creates a new message object. The ToolTalk service returns a message handle that is an opaque pointer to a ToolTalk structure. RETURN VALUE Upon successful completion, the tt_message_create() function returns the unique opaque handle that identifies the message object. The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned handle: 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_PROCID The process identification is not valid. APPLICATION USAGE A return value of TT_ERR_PROCID implies that tt_open(3) was not issued before tt_message_create(). If the ToolTalk service is unable to create a message when requested, tt_message_create() returns an invalid handle. When the application attempts to use this handle with another ToolTalk function, the ToolTalk service will return TT_ERR_POINTER.
