tt_message_abstainer
tt_message_abstainer(library call) tt_message_abstainer(library call)
NAME
tt_message_abstainer -- return offer's nth abstaining procid
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_message_abstainer(
Tt_message m,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_message_abstainer function returns the procid of the nth abstainer of the specified message.
The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. The n argument is the number of the abstainer to be
returned. The first abstainer is numbered zero.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_message_abstainer function returns the procid of the nth abstainer. The application can use
tt_ptr_error to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:
TT_OK The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_PROCID
There is no valid default procid, perhaps because tt_open has not yet been called.
TT_ERR_NUM
The integer value passed was invalid (out of range).
TT_ERR_STATE
The specified message is not in state TT_RETURNED. Since only TT_OFFERs can be in state TT_RETURNED, this status will be
returned if the specified message is a TT_NOTICE or a TT_REQUEST.
TT_ERR_POINTER
The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.
APPLICATION USAGE
The application can use tt_free to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.
