    def registerType(self, type: str) -> int:
        '''Register type of sending message to get type id. For performance reasons,
        you could specify type id instead of type name, for example:

        ```
        message = tbapi.InstrumentMessage()
        message.typeId = loader.registerType("deltix.timebase.api.messages.universal.PackageHeader")
        // as alternative, you could write:

        Args:
