NAME

tt_message_create − create a new message object

SYNOPSIS

#include <Tt/tt_c.h> Tt_message tt_message_create(void);

DESCRIPTION

The tt_message_create function creates a new message object. 

The ToolTalk service returns a message handle that is an opaque pointer to a ToolTalk structure. 

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the tt_message_create function returns the unique opaque handle that identifies the message object.  The application can use tt_ptr_error3 to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned handle: The operation completed successfully. 
The ttsession1 process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. 
The process identification is not valid.

APPLICATION USAGE

A return value of TT_ERR_PROCID implies that tt_open3 was not issued before tt_message_create. 

If the ToolTalk service is unable to create a message when requested, tt_message_create returns an invalid handle.  When the application attempts to use this handle with another ToolTalk function, the ToolTalk service will return TT_ERR_POINTER.
