Message Types

Each message has a type property that defines the purpose of the message. Message types are described in detail in the TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide. All of the standard message types that SmartSockets supports are defined in <rtworks/mt.h>, which is included by <rtworks/ipc.h>. These standard message types are also listed in the TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide.

The list of known message types can be traversed with the function TipcMtTraverse. It uses this traversal function:

typedef T_PTR (*T_IPC_MT_TRAV_FUNC) 
  (T_STR name, T_IPC_MT mt, T_PTR arg); 

For more information on traversal functions, see TIBCO SmartSockets Utilities. The specified traversal function for TipcMtTraverse must be defined with these arguments.
