TT_MESSAGE_ARG_IVAL(3)

✨ tt_message_arg_ival ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're learning about tt_message_arg_ival from the ToolTalk library — it's a whole library call, iykyk 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

tt_message_arg_ival — literally just retrieving the integer value of a message argument. that's the whole gig. slay.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_message_arg_ival(
Tt_message m,
int n,
int *value);

like, include the header first, obviously. then call the function. periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the tt_message_arg_ival function retrieves the integer value of the *n*th message argument. yes bestie, the *n*th one. we're getting specific here.

The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation — think of it as the main character energy of this whole call, it's the message you're working with 👑

The n argument is the number of the argument to be retrieved, and here's the iconic detail: the first argument is numbered zero. so if you were thinking "first" means 1, no babe, it's 0. classic programmer moment fr fr.

The value argument is a pointer to an integer where the ToolTalk service is to store the contents of the argument. so the service does the actual writing, you just hand it a spot to put the goods 🫶

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

upon successful completion (key word: successful), the tt_message_arg_ival function returns the status of the operation as one of these following Tt_status values:

• TT_OK — the operation completed successfully. we love a happy ending ✨
• TT_ERR_NOMP — the ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. so like... nothing's home, nobody's listening, the vibe check failed 😭
• TT_ERR_NUM — the integer value passed was invalid (out of range). you gave a number that just doesn't work here, no cap 💀
• TT_ERR_POINTER — the pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation. wrong object, wrong type, wrong energy 🙈

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Tt/tt_c.h - Tttt_c(5).

---

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 go forth and retrieve those integer values with confidence, zero-indexed and flawless. mwah 💋
