Damage messages and types (fight.c)

Quick question here,
In fight.c the following confuses me.

      if (!skill_message(dam, ch, victim, attacktype))
        dam_message(dam, ch, victim, attacktype);
    } else {
        dam_message(dam, ch, victim, attacktype);
    }

Why have a check if !skill_message and else statement to do the same thing?


Mainly I am trying to figure out how to do a check on weapon type
which I believe i have to check "attacktype" and can not figure out a way to
do it. This is not as simple as I thought.
How can I check to see if the weapon type is slash, whip or whatever?
