tt_pattern_create
library call
tt_pattern_create
request a new pattern object
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_pattern tt_pattern_create
DESCRIPTION
The
tt_pattern_create function
requests a new pattern object.
After receiving the pattern object,
the application fills in the message pattern fields to indicate
what type of messages the process wants to receive and then registers the
pattern with the ToolTalk service.
The application can supply multiple values for each attribute
added to a pattern
(although some attributes are set and can only have one value).
The pattern
attribute matches a message attribute if any of the values in the pattern match
the value in the message.
If no value is specified for an attribute,
the ToolTalk service assumes that any value will match.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the
tt_pattern_create function returns the opaque handle for a message pattern.
The application can use this handle in future calls to
identify the pattern object.
The application can use
&cdeman.tt.ptr.error; to extract one of the following
Tt_status values from the returned handle:
TT_OK
The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_NOMP
The
&cdeman.ttsession; process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
APPLICATION USAGE
The application should use
&cdeman.tt.free; to free any data stored in the address returned by the
ToolTalk API.
