NAME
tttk_message_abandon - finalize a message properly
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tttk.h>
Tt_status tttk_message_abandon(Tt_message msg);
DESCRIPTION
The tttk_message_abandon() function is used by an application when it
does not understand a message and wants to get rid of it. The
tttk_message_abandon() function fails or rejects msg if appropriate,
and then destroys it. The tttk_message_abandon() will reject or fail
the message only if msg is a TT_REQUEST in Tt_state TT_SENT. If it has
a Tt_address of TT_HANDLER or a tt_message_status() of
TT_WRN_START_MESSAGE, then it fails the message; otherwise, it rejects
it. In either case, tttk_message_abandon() gives msg a message status
(see tt_message_status(3)) of TT_DESKTOP_ENOTSUP.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tttk_message_abandon() 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_NOTHANDLER
This application is not the handler for this message.
TT_ERR_POINTER
The pointer passed does not point to an object of the cor-
rect type for this operation.
