TT_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_XVAL(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is tt_message_context_xval from the library call manual, and it's literally here to retrieve and deserialize the data from a message's context. iconic behavior, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_message_context_xval(
Tt_message m,
const char *slotname,
xdrproc_t xdr_proc,
void **value);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tt_message_context_xval function retrieves and deserializes the data from a message's context. yes bestie, that's the whole main-character job 🫶

The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. The slotname argument describes the context of this message. The xdr_proc argument points to the XDR procedure to be used to deserialize the data in the nth argument into newly allocated storage, the address of which will be stored in the pointer whose address is value.

The value argument is the data to be deserialized. that's the vibe ✨

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Upon successful completion, the tt_message_context_xval function returns the status of the operation as one of these Tt_status values:

• TT_OK — The operation completed successfully. slay 💅
• TT_ERR_MODE — The specified Tt_mode is invalid.
• 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.
• TT_ERR_NUM — The integer value passed was invalid (out of range).
• TT_ERR_XDR — The XDR procedure failed on the given data, or evaluated to a zero-length expression.

---

🎀 APPLICATION USAGE 🎀

The allocation calls are made by the XDR procedure; therefore, any storage allocated is not allocated from the ToolTalk allocation stack.

bestie, pls note: the application should use the xdr_free(3) call to free this storage. that's the cleanup lore 🙈
