NAME

       tt_message_create -- create a new message object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       Tt_message tt_message_create(void)

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_message_create function creates a new message object.

       The ToolTalk service returns a message handle that is an opaque pointer to a ToolTalk structure.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the tt_message_create function returns the unique opaque handle that identifies the message object.	The appli-
       cation can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned handle:

       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_PROCID
		 The process identification is not valid.

APPLICATION USAGE

       A return value of TT_ERR_PROCID implies that tt_open(3) was not issued before tt_message_create.

       If the ToolTalk service is unable to create a message when requested, tt_message_create returns an invalid handle.   When  the  application
       attempts to use this handle with another ToolTalk function, the ToolTalk service will return TT_ERR_POINTER.
