TT_MESSAGE_UID(3)

okay so bestie, this is tt_message_uid, the library call page — and it’s here to pull the user identifier attribute off a message. very “little function, important job” energy, no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

tt_message_uid — retrieve the user identifier attribute from a message. periodt. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Tt/tt_c.h>
uid_t tt_message_uid(
       Tt_message m);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tt_message_uid function retrieves the user identifier attribute from the specified message. That’s the mission, bestie. 🎀

The ToolTalk service automatically sets the user identifier of a message with the user identifier of the process that created the message. so it’s not you doing the setting — the service handles that automatically. ✨

The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. opaque handle means you pass it through, you don’t peek inside — we love a mysterious little parameter. 🫶

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Upon successful completion, the tt_message_uid function returns the user identifier of the message. slay. ✅

If the group nobody is returned, the message handle is not valid. that’s the red flag, bestie: handle not valid, so do not keep treating it like it is. 💀
