tt_message_arg_mode -- return the mode of a message argument
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_mode tt_message_arg_mode(
Tt_message m,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_message_arg_mode function returns the mode of the nth message argument.
The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. The n argument is the number of the argument to be
returned. The first argument is numbered zero.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_message_arg_mode function returns a value that specifies who (sender, handler, observers) writes and
reads a message argument. The following modes are defined:
TT_IN The argument is written by the sender and read by the handler and any observers.
TT_OUT The argument is written by the handler and read by the sender and any reply observers.
TT_INOUT The argument is written by the sender and the handler and read by all.
The application can use tt_int_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the Tt_mode integer return value:
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_NUM
