TT_MESSAGE_FILE(3)

✨ tt_message_file — bestie, let's grab that file attribute 💅

okay so this is a tt_message_file page from the library call section, and honestly? it's a little icon and it does exactly one thing, but it does it flawlessly. no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

tt_message_file — retrieves the file attribute from a message

like, it reaches into a message and pulls out its file attribute. that's the whole gig. she's focused. she's booked and busy. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_message_file(
Tt_message m);

look at her. two lines. zero drama. (well, mostly zero drama, but we'll get to the Tt_status values in a sec, bestie 😭)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tt_message_file function retrieves the file attribute from the specified message. that's it, that's the function. she's literally just fetching the file attribute, and she's slaying while doing it. ✨

The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. it's giving "mystery box" energy — you don't get to peek inside, you just trust that it's the right kind of object and hand it over. 🔥

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

Upon successful completion, the tt_message_file function returns a string containing the file attribute of the specified message. cute! a string! 💜

The application can use tt_ptr_error(3) to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:

• TT_OK — The operation completed successfully. 🎉 iconic behaviour, no notes.
• TT_ERR_NOMP — The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. so the session just… isn't there? and nobody's home to bring it back? yeah, that's a whole mood, and not a good one. 💀
• TT_ERR_POINTER — The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation. bestie, wrong vibe. wrong type. try again with the right handle. 🙈

---

🫶 APPLICATION USAGE 🫶

The application should use tt_free(3) to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.

⚠️ okay this is the important part so don't scroll past — that string you get back? it's yours to clean up. call tt_free(3) on it. memory leaks are not the aesthetic. periodt. 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie! this was tt_message_file(library call) from the library call manual, and the header and footer both said the same thing — tt_message_file(library call) — so consider this your sparkly little sign-off. 🎀💖 see you in the next manpage, mwah! 💋🦋

— with love, from tt_message_file(library call) 🍓✨
