catgets - get message from a message catalog |
| |
|
15 |
!!SYNOPSIS |
| |
|
16 |
|
| |
|
17 |
|
| |
|
18 |
__#include |
| |
|
19 |
____char *catgets(nl_catd__ ''catalog''__, int__ ''set_number''__, int__ ''message_number''__, const char *__''message''__);__ |
| |
|
20 |
!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
__catgets()__ reads the message ''message_number'', in |
| |
|
24 |
set ''set_number'', from the message catalog identified |
| |
|
25 |
by ''catalog'', where ''catalog'' is a catalog |
| |
|
26 |
descriptor returned from an earlier call to |
| |
|
27 |
catopen(3). The fourth argument ''message'' points |
| |
|
28 |
to a default message string which will be returned by |
| |
|
29 |
__catgets()__ if the identified message catalog is not |
| |
|
30 |
currently available. The message-text is contained in an |
| |
|
31 |
internal buffer area and should be copied by the application |
| |
|
32 |
if it is to be saved or modified. The return string is |
| |
|
33 |
always terminated with a null byte. |
| |
|
34 |
!!RETURN VALUE |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
On success, __catgets()__ returns a pointer to an |
| |
|
38 |
internal buffer area containing the null-terminated message |
| |
|
39 |
string. On failure, __catgets()__ returns the value |
| |
|
40 |
''message''. |
| |

These functions are only available in libc.so.4.4.4c and |
| |
|
45 |
above. The Jan 1987 X/Open Portability Guide specifies a |
| |
|
46 |
more subtle error return: ''message'' is returned if the |
| |
|
47 |
message catalog specified by ''catalog'' is not |
| |
|
48 |
available, while an empty string is returned when the |
| |
|
49 |
message catalog is available but does not contain the |
| |
|
50 |
specified message. These two possible error returns seem to |
| |
|
51 |
be discarded in XPG4.2 in favour of always returning |
| |
|
52 |
''message''. |
