NAME

       tt_pattern_disposition_add -- add a value to the disposition field for a pattern

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       Tt_status tt_pattern_disposition_add(
       Tt_pattern p,
       Tt_disposition r);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_pattern_disposition_add function adds a value to the disposition field for the specified pattern.

       The p argument is a unique handle for a message pattern.  This handle is returned after tt_pattern_create(3) is called.

       The r argument indicates whether an instance of the receiver is to be started to receive the message immediately, or whether the message is
       to be queued until the receiving process is started at a later time or discarded if the receiver is not started.  The following values  are
       defined:

       TT_DISCARD
		 There is no receiver for this message.  The message will be returned to the sender with the Tt_status field containing TT_FAILED.

       TT_QUEUE  Queue the message until a process of the proper ptype receives the message.

       TT_START  Attempt to start a process of the proper ptype if none is running.

       TT_QUEUE+TT_START
		 Queue the message and attempt to start a process of the proper ptype if none is running.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion, the tt_pattern_disposition_add 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 correct type for this operation.
