Detailed Description

This section explains how to handle errors occuring in the client instance or as a result of server commands.

There are two types errors which can occur in the client, either server command error or internal errors. Section Client/Server Commands describes all the commands a client can issue to a server. If a server commands fails the client instance notifies the user application through the event CLIENTEVENT_CMD_ERROR. An example of a server command error could be to issue the TT_DoLogin command with an incorrect password. The server will in this case respond with the error CMDERR_INVALID_ACCOUNT. The user application must be designed to process these errors so application users can be notified of errors.

Internal errors are errors due to failing devices. Currently only two such errors exist INTERR_SNDINPUT_FAILURE and INTERR_SNDOUTPUT_FAILURE.

Typedef Documentation

◆ ClientError

typedef enum ClientError ClientError

Errors which can occur either as a result of client commands or as a result of internal errors.

Use TT_GetErrorMessage to get a text-description of the error.

Errors which can occur either as a result of client commands or as a result of internal errors.

Use TT_GetErrorMessage to get a text-description of the error.

Enumerator
CMDERR_SUCCESS 

Command indicating success. Only used internally.

CMDERR_SYNTAX_ERROR 

Command has syntax error. Only used internally.

CMDERR_UNKNOWN_COMMAND 

The server doesn't support the issued command.

   This error may occur if the server is an older version than
   the client instance.

TT_DoNewUserAccount()
CMDERR_INCORRECT_CHANNEL_PASSWORD 

Invalid channel password.

   The #TT_DoJoinChannel or #TT_DoJoinChannelByID passed an
   invalid channel password. #TT_DoMakeChannel can also cause
   a this error if the password is longer than #TT_STRLEN. 
CMDERR_INVALID_ACCOUNT 

Invalid username or password for account.

   The #TT_DoLogin command was issued with invalid account
   properties. This error can also occur by
   #TT_DoNewUserAccount if username is empty.

Login failed due to maximum number of users on server.

TT_DoLogin failed because the server does not allow any more users.

   #TT_DoLogin failed because the local client's IP-address
   has been banned on the server. 
CMDERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED 

Command not authorized.

   The command cannot be performed because the client instance
   has insufficient rights.
