     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.
