<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Function>tt_pattern_barg_add</Function> function
adds an argument with a value that contains embedded nulls to a pattern.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>m</Emphasis> argument is the opaque handle for the pattern involved in this operation.
The
<Symbol Role="Variable">n</Symbol> argument specifies who
(sender, handler, observers) writes and reads a message argument.
The following modes are defined:
</Para>
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_IN</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The argument is written by the sender and read by the
handler and any observers.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_OUT</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The argument is written by the handler and read by the
sender and any reply observers.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_INOUT</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The argument is written by the sender and the
handler and read by all.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
</VariableList>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>vtype</Emphasis> argument describes the type of argument data being added.
Type
<Symbol>ALL</Symbol> matches any argument value type.
</Para>
<Para>The ToolTalk service treats the value as an opaque byte string.
To pass structured data, the application and the receiving application
must encode and decode these unique values.
The most common method to use is XDR.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Variable">value</Symbol> argument is the value to be added.
<SystemItem Class="Constant">NULL</SystemItem> matches any value.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>len</Emphasis> argument is the length of the value in bytes.
</Para>

<Title>RETURN VALUE</Title>
<Para>Upon successful completion, the
<Function>tt_pattern_barg_add</Function> function returns the status of the operation as one of the following
<StructName Role="typedef">Tt_status</StructName> values:
</Para>
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_OK</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The operation completed successfully.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_ERR_NOMP</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The
&cdeman.ttsession; process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry>
<Term>TT_ERR_POINTER</Term>
<ListItem>
<Para>The pointer passed does not point to an object of
the correct type for this operation.
</Para>
</ListItem>
</VarListEntry>
