NAME
       tt_message_disposition -- retrieve the disposition attribute from a
       message

SYNOPSIS
       #include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
       Tt_disposition tt_message_disposition(
       Tt_message m);

DESCRIPTION
       The tt_message_disposition function retrieves the disposition attribute
       from the specified message.

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

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, the tt_message_disposition function returns
       a value that indicates whether an instance of the receiving process
       should be started to receive the message immediately, or whether the
       message is to be queued until the receiving process is started at a
       later time.  The tt_message_disposition function returns one of the
       following Tt_disposition values:

       TT_DISCARD
                 There is no receiver for this message.  The message will be
                 returned to the sender with the Tt_status field containing
                 TT_FAILED.

       TT_QUEUE  Queue the message until a process of the proper ptype
                 receives the message.

       TT_START  Attempt to start a process of the proper ptype if none is
                 running.

       TT_QUEUE+TT_START
                 Queue the message and attempt to start a process of the
                 proper ptype if none is running.

       The application can use tt_int_error(3) to extract one of the following
       Tt_status values from the Tt_disposition integer:

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