NAME
       setcat() - set the default message catalog

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       The  routine  sets the default message catalog for use by other format‐
       ting routines (see gettxt(3C) and pfmt(3C)).

       msgcat specifies the file to use as the default catalog.	 The file name
       is limited to 14 characters.  No checking is done to make sure that the
       file exists.  The value	of  msgcat  determines	what  happens  to  the
       default message catalog:

	      string	     Sets the default message catalog to string.

	      NULL	     Returns  a pointer to the current default message
			     catalog.  The default catalog is not changed.

	      empty string   Resets to no catalog.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, returns a pointer to the  default  catalog.
       Otherwise, returns a NULL pointer.

EXAMPLES
       The following example gets its message from the message catalog file:

       is to be obsoleted at a future date.
