NAME

tttk_message_abandon − finalize a message properly

SYNOPSIS

#include <Tt/tttk.h>
Tt_status tttk_message_abandon(Tt_message msg);

DESCRIPTION

The tttk_message_abandon() function is used by an application when it does not understand a message and wants to get rid of it. The tttk_message_abandon() function fails or rejects msg if appropriate, and then destroys it.  The tttk_message_abandon() will reject or fail the message only if msg is a TT_REQUEST in Tt_state TT_SENT.  If it has a Tt_address of TT_HANDLER or a tt_message_status() of TT_WRN_START_MESSAGE, then it fails the message; otherwise, it rejects it.  In either case, tttk_message_abandon() gives msg a message status (see tt_message_status(3)) of TT_DESKTOP_ENOTSUP. 

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the tttk_message_abandon() 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_NOTHANDLER
This application is not the handler for this message.

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