NAME
  tt_pattern_disposition_add - add a value to the disposition field for a
  pattern

SYNOPSIS
  #include <tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_pattern_disposition_add(Tt_pattern p,
				       Tt_disposition r);

DESCRIPTION
  The tt_pattern_disposition_add function adds a value to the disposition
  field for the specified pattern.

  The p argument is a unique handle for a message pattern. This handle is
  returned after tt_pattern_create(3) is called.

  The r argument indicates whether an instance of the receiver is to be
  started to receive the message immediately, or whether the message is to be
  queued until the receiving process is started at a later time or discarded
  if the receiver is not started. The following values are defined:

  TT_DISCARD
      There is no receiver for this message. The message will be returned to
      the sender with the Tt_status field containing TT_FAILED.

  TT_QUEUE
      Queue the message until a process of the proper ptype receives the
      message.

  TT_START
      Attempt to start a process of the proper ptype if none is running.

  TT_QUEUE+TT_START
      Queue the message and attempt to start a process of the proper ptype if
      none is running.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the tt_pattern_disposition_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 service cannot
      restart it.

  TT_ERR_POINTER
      The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for
      this operation.
