NAME

       tt_message_user_set -- stores user information associated with a message object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       Tt_status tt_message_user_set(
       Tt_message m,
       int key,
       void *v);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_message_user_set function stores user information in data cells associated with the specified message object.

       The  user  data is part of the message object (that is, the storage buffer in the application); it is not part of the actual message.  Data
       stored by the sending process in user data cells is not seen by handlers and observers.	The application can use arguments  for	data  that
       needs to be seen by handlers or observers.

       The  m  argument  is  the  opaque  handle for the message involved in this operation.  The key argument is the user data cell in which user
       information is to be stored.  The v argument is the data cell, a piece of arbitrary user data that can hold a void *.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the tt_message_user_set 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.

       TT_ERR_PROCID
		 The specified process identifier is out of date or invalid.

NAME

       tt_message_user -- retrieve the user information associated with a message object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
       void *tt_message_user(
       Tt_message m,
       int key);

DESCRIPTION

       The tt_message_user function retrieves the user information stored in data cells associated with the specified message object.

       The  user data is part of the message object (that is, the storage buffer in the application); it is not a part of the actual message.  The
       application can, therefore, only retrieve user information that the application placed in the message.

       The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation.	The key argument is the user data cell	to  be	retrieved.
       The user data cell must be unique for this message.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, the tt_message_user function returns the data cell, a piece of arbitrary user data that can hold a void *. The
       application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned data:

       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.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.

       The user data cell is intended to hold an address.  If the address selected is equal to one of the Tt_status enumerated values, the  result
       of the tt_ptr_error(3) function will not be reliable.
