STATUS(4)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Status(special file) manual page — this is all about Status, and Status literally means a tool has some status information to announce 💅. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       Status(in string status,
               in string vendor,
               in string toolName,
               in string toolVersion
               [in messageID commission]);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The Status notice indicates that a tool has status information to announce. It's giving "hey bestie, I have news" energy ✨.

• status — the status being announced. This is the actual announcement, the main character of the args.
• vendor — the vendor of the sending tool.
• toolName — the name of the sending tool.
• toolVersion — the version of the sending tool.
• commission — the ID of the request, if any, that initiated the operation the status of which is being announced. If there's no request, that's what "if any" is doing there 🫶.

🎀 APPLICATION USAGE 🎀

The ttdt_subcontract_manage(3) function can be used to register for, and help process, the Status request. Iconic behavior, honestly.

The Status request can be sent with ttdt_message_accept(3). Slay.

The Status notice can be used by handlers of requests invoking protracted operations to provide periodic point-to-point status reports to the requester. Doing so has the nice side effect of identifying the handler to the requester, so that the requester can issue a Quit request if it wants to. That's lowkey a bonus feature, and we love that for them 🌈.

okay bye bestie 🫶 — the footer at the very bottom is just Status(special file) again, with no extra source/version or date line hiding down there. That's the whole footer vibe ✨
