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 cor-
                  rect 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.
