 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      tt_message_handler - retrieve the handler attribute from a message

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
      char *tt_message_handler(
      Tt_message m);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The tt_message_handler function retrieves the handler attribute from
      the specified message.

      The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this
      operation.

 RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]
      Upon successful completion, the tt_message_handler function returns
      the character value that uniquely identifies the process that is to
      handle the message (Tt_state = TT_CREATED or TT_SENT) or the process
      that did handle the message (Tt_state = TT_SENT or TT_HANDLED). The
      application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following
      Tt_status values from the returned pointer:

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