Msgcat(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Msgcat(3pm)NAME
Locale::Msgcat - Perl extension for blah blah blah
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Msgcat;
$cat = new Locale::Msgcat;
$rc = $cat->catopen(name, oflag);
$msg = $cat->catgets(set_number, message_number, string);
$rc = $cat->catclose();
DESCRIPTION
The Locale::Msgcat module allows access to the message catalog functions which are available on some systems. A new Locale::Msgcat object
must first be created for each catalog which has to be open at a given time.
The catopen operation opens the catalog whose name is given as argument. The oflag can be either 0 or NL_CAT_LOCALE (usually 1) which is
the recommended value.
The catgets message retrieves message_number for the set_number message set, and if not found returns string.
The catclose function should be used when access to a catalog is not needed anymore.
EXAMPLES
use Locale::Msgcat;
$cat = new Locale::Msgcat;
unless ($cat->catopen("whois.cat", 1)) {
print STDERR "Can't open whois catalog.
";
exit(1);
}
printf "First message, first set : %s
", $cat->catgets(1, 1, "not found");
unless ($cat->catclose()) {
print STDERR "Can't close whois catalog.
";
exit(1);
}
The above example would print the first message from the first message set found in the whois catalog, or if not found it would print "not
found".

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Msgcat - Msgcat catalog parser Maketext
SYNOPSIS
package Hello::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
en => ['Msgcat', 'en_US/hello.pl.m'],
};
package main;
my $lh = Hello::I18N->get_handle('en');
print $lh->maketext(1,2); # set 1, msg 2
print $lh->maketext("1,2"); # same thing
DESCRIPTION
This module parses one or more Msgcat catalogs in plain text format, and returns a Lexicon hash, which may be looked up either with a two-
argument form ("$set_id, $msg_id") or as a single string ("$set_id,$msg_id").
NOTES
All special characters ("[", "]" and "~") in catalogs will be escaped so they lose their magic meanings. That means "->maketext" calls to
this lexicon will not take any additional arguments.
