Name

catgets-read a program message

Synopsis

#include <nl_types.h> 
char *catgets (nl_catd catd, int set_num, int msg_num, char *s)

Description

catgets attempts to read message msg_num, in set set_num, from the message catalogue identified by catd. catd is a catalogue descriptor returned from an earlier call to catopen(3). s points to a default message string which will be returned by catgets if the identified message catalogue is not currently available.

Diagnostics

If the identified message is retrieved successfully, catgets returns a pointer to an internal buffer area containing the null terminated message string. If the call is unsuccessful because the message catalogue identified by catd is not currently available, a pointer to s is returned.
