NAMEtt_pattern_barg_add — add an argument with a value that contains embed‐
ded nulls to a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_pattern_barg_add(
Tt_pattern m,
Tt_mode n,
const char *vtype,
const unsigned char *value,
int len);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_pattern_barg_add function adds an argument with a value that
contains embedded nulls to a pattern.
The m argument is the opaque handle for the pattern 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.
Type ALL matches any argument value type.
The ToolTalk service treats the value as an opaque byte string. To
pass structured data, the application and the receiving application
must encode and decode these unique values. The most common method to
use is XDR.
The value argument is the value to be added. NULL matches any value.
The len argument is the length of the value in bytes.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_pattern_barg_add 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 ser‐
vice cannot restart it.
TT_ERR_POINTER
The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct
type for this operation.
