NAME
tt_pattern_register - register a pattern with the ToolTalk service
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_pattern_register(Tt_pattern p);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_pattern_register() function registers a pattern with the
ToolTalk service.
When the process is registered, it will start receiving messages that
match the specified pattern. Once a pattern is registered, no further
changes can be made in the pattern.
When the process joins a session or file, the ToolTalk service updates
the file and session field of its registered patterns.
The p argument is a unique handle for a message pattern. This handle
is returned after tt_pattern_create(3) is called.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_pattern_register() function returns
the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values:
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.
TT_ERR_PROCID
The specified process identifier is out of date or invalid.
