DtHelpSetCatalogNaUNIX)System V (1 August DtHelpSetCatalogName(3)
NAME
DtHelpSetCatalogName - assign the name of the message
catalog to use for help services
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Help.h>
void DtHelpSetCatalogName(char *catFile);
DESCRIPTION
The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function provides an interface
for applications to set the name of the message catalog file
that the help services library uses at runtime. This
message catalog contains all strings, messages and button
labels used in the help widgets that can be localized.
The catFile argument specifies the name of the message
catalog file that the help services library accesses at
runtime. See catopen(3C) for more information on the
message catalog naming and location semantics for various
environments.
RETURN VALUE
The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function returns no value.
APPLICATION USAGE
The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function is only required if
applications deliver localized online help information into
a non-localized CDE desktop environment. In this case,
applications must use this function and give the help
message catalog file a unique name in order to avoid
collision with other clients using and localizing their
online-help user interface. In order for this call to
properly affect the help services library, this call must be
made prior to creation of any help widgets.
