tt_message_user_set(3) ToolTalk Functions tt_message_user_set(3)NAMEtt_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 buf‐
fer 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 han‐
dlers 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 infor‐
mation 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

rect type for this operation.
