tt_message_accepter

tt_message_accepter(library call)										 tt_message_accepter(library call)

NAME

       tt_message_accepter -- return offer's nth accepting procid

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       char *tt_message_accepter(
       Tt_message m,
       int n);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_message_accepter function returns the procid of the nth accepter 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 accepter to be
       returned.  The first accepter is numbered zero.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the tt_message_accepter function returns the procid of the nth accepter.  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.

SEE ALSO

       Tt/tt_c.h - Tttt_c(5), tt_message_accepters_count(3), tt_ptr_error(3), tt_free(3).
