<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Function>tt_message_receive</Function> function returns a handle for the next message queued to be delivered
to the process and also runs any message or pattern callbacks
applicable to the queued message.
</Para>
<Para>If the return value of
&cdeman.tt.message.status; for this message is
<SystemItem Class="Constant">TT_WRN_START_MESSAGE</SystemItem>, the ToolTalk service started the process to deliver the queued message;
the process must reply to this message.
If the return value of
<Function>tt_message_receive</Function> is zero, no message is available.
</Para>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1>
<Title>RETURN VALUE</Title>
<Para>Upon successful completion, the
<Function>tt_message_receive</Function> function returns the handle for the message object.
The application can use
&cdeman.tt.ptr.error; to extract one of the following
<StructName Role="typedef">Tt_status</StructName> values from the returned handle:
</Para>
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_OK</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The operation completed successfully.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_ERR_NOMP</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The
&cdeman.ttsession; process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
</VariableList>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1>
<Title>APPLICATION USAGE</Title>
<Para>A zero value can occur if a message or pattern callback processes the message.
It can also occur if the interval is too long between the time the file
descriptor became active and the
<Function>tt_message_receive</Function> call was made.
In the latter case, the ToolTalk service will time out and offer the message to
another process.
</Para>
<Para>The application should use
&cdeman.tt.free; to free any data stored in the address returned by the
ToolTalk API.
</Para>
