CATGETS(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   CATGETS(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       catgets - read a program message

SYNOPSIS
       #include <nl_types.h>

       char *catgets(nl_catd catd, int set_id, int msg_id, const char *s);

DESCRIPTION
       The catgets() function shall attempt to read  message  msg_id,  in  set
       set_id,	from the message catalog identified by catd. The catd argument
       is a message catalog  descriptor	 returned  from	 an  earlier  call  to
       catopen().  The	s  argument  points  to a default message string which
       shall be returned by catgets() if it  cannot  retrieve  the  identified
       message.

       The  catgets()  function	 need not be reentrant. A function that is not
       required to be reentrant is not required to be thread-safe.

RETURN VALUE
       If the identified message is retrieved  successfully,  catgets()	 shall
       return  a pointer to an internal buffer area containing the null-termi‐
       nated message string. If the call is unsuccessful  for  any  reason,  s
       shall be returned and errno may be set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The catgets() function may fail if:

       EBADF  The catd argument is not a valid message catalog descriptor open
	      for reading.

       EBADMSG
	      The message identified by set_id and  msg_id  in	the  specified
	      message  catalog did not satisfy implementation-defined security
	      criteria.

       EINTR  The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of  a  sig‐
	      nal, and no data was transferred.

       EINVAL The message catalog identified by catd is corrupted.

       ENOMSG The  message  identified by set_id and msg_id is not in the mes‐
	      sage catalog.
