tt_message_arg_add(3)




tt_message_arg_add(3)  C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS  tt_message_arg_add(3)

NAME
     tt_message_arg_add	- add a	new argument to	a message object

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tt_c.h>

     Tt_status tt_message_arg_add(Tt_message m,
				  Tt_mode n,
				  const	char *vtype,
				  const	char *value);

DESCRIPTION
     The tt_message_arg_add() function adds a new argument  to	a
     message object.

     The application must add all arguments before the message is
     sent.   To	 change	existing argument values, the application
     must use only modes TT_OUT	or TT_INOUT.

     Adding arguments when replying to a message  produces  unde-
     fined results.

     The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved
     in	 this  operation.   The	n argument 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 vtype argument	describes the type of argument data being
     added.   The  value argument is the contents for the message
     argument attribute.  The application can use NULL either for
     values  of	 mode  TT_OUT, or if the value is to be	filled in
     later with	one of the following:

	  tt_message_arg_val_set(3)
	  tt_message_barg_val_set(3)
	  tt_message_iarg_val_set(3)

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, the  tt_message_arg_add()  func-
     tion  returns the status of the operation as one of the fol-
     lowing Tt_status values:
