nl_types.h(3HEAD) Headers nl_types.h(3HEAD)NAME
nl_types.h, nl_types - native language data types
SYNOPSIS
#include <nl_types.h>
DESCRIPTION
This header contains the following definitions:
nl_catd Used by the message catalog functions catopen, catgets and catclose to identify a catalog.
nl_item Used by nl_langinfo to identify items of langinfo data. Values for objects of type nl_item are defined in <langinfo.h>.
NL_SETD Used by gencat when no $set directive is specified in a message text source file. This constant can be used in subsequent
calls to catgets as the value of the set identifier parameter.
NL_MGSMAX Maximum number of messages per set.
NL_SETMAX Maximum number of sets per catalog.
NL_TEXTMAX Maximum size of a message.

NAME
nl_types.h - data types
SYNOPSIS
#include <nl_types.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <nl_types.h> header shall contain definitions of at least the following types:
nl_catd
Used by the message catalog functions catopen(), catgets(), and catclose() to identify a catalog descriptor.
nl_item
Used by nl_langinfo() to identify items of langinfo data. Values of objects of type nl_item are defined in <langinfo.h> .
The <nl_types.h> header shall contain definitions of at least the following constants:
NL_SETD
Used by gencat when no $set directive is specified in a message text source file; see the Internationalization Guide. This constant
can be passed as the value of set_id on subsequent calls to catgets() (that is, to retrieve messages from the default message set).
The value of NL_SETD is implementation-defined.
NL_CAT_LOCALE
Value that must be passed as the oflag argument to catopen() to ensure that message catalog selection depends on the LC_MESSAGES
locale category, rather than directly on the LANG environment variable.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
int catclose(nl_catd);
char *catgets(nl_catd, int, int, const char *);
nl_catd catopen(const char *, int);
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
