tt_message_fail(3)
CDE


NAME
  tt_message_fail - indicate a message cannot be handled

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
  Tt_status tt_message_fail(Tt_message m);

DESCRIPTION
  The tt_message_fail function informs the ToolTalk service that the process
  cannot handle the request just received.

  This function also informs the ToolTalk service that the message is not be
  offered to other processes of the same ptype.	 The ToolTalk service will
  send the message back to the sender with state TT_FAILED.

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

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the tt_message_fail function returns the status
  of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: The operation
  completed successfully.
  The ttsession1 process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot
  restart it.
  This application is not the handler for this message.
  The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this
  operation.

  The status value must be greater than TT_ERR_LAST to avoid confusion with
  the ToolTalk service status values.

APPLICATION USAGE
  To distinguish this case from the case where a message failed because no
  matching handler could be found, the application should place an
  explanatory message code in the status attribute of the message with
  tt_message_status_set3 and tt_message_status_string_set3 before calling
  tt_message_fail.
