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 cato-
pen. s points to a default message string which will be
returned by catgets if the identified message catalogue is
not currently available.
SEE ALSO
catopen(3C).
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.
