NAME

       dspcat - display all or part of a message catalog

SYNOPSIS

       catalog_name [set_number [message_number]]

DESCRIPTION

       The command displays a particular message, all of the messages in a set, or all of the messages in a catalog.

       If  you	include  all three command operands, displays a particular message.  If you do not include message_number, all the messages in the
       specified set are displayed.  If you specify only catalog_name, all the messages in the catalog are displayed.  If you  specify	either	an
       invalid message_number or invalid set_number, an error message is displayed.  You must include set_number if you include message_number.

   Options
       The command recognizes the following option:

	      Formats the output so that it can be used as input to the
			     command.  You cannot use the message_number operand with the option.

   Operands
       The command recognizes the following operands:

	      catalog_name   Specifies	a  file containing a message catalog.  If the file is not in the set of directories specified by the envi-
			     ronment variable, searches for it in the current directory.  (For more information about see environ(5).)

	      set_number     Specifies a set in the catalog.

	      message_number Specifies a particular number in the specified set.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null.	If is unset or null, it defaults to (see lang(5)).

       when set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all other internationalization variables.

       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       determines the path to be used for searching the specified message catalog file.  It affects how  the  internationalization  variables  are
       used in locating the desired message catalog.

NAME

       catgets - get message from a message catalog

SYNOPSIS

       #include <nl_types.h>

       char *catgets(nl_catd catalog, int set_number, int message_number,
		     const char *message);

DESCRIPTION

       catgets()  reads  the message message_number, in set set_number, from the message catalog identified by catalog, where catalog is a catalog
       descriptor returned from an earlier call to catopen(3).	The fourth argument, message, points to a default message  string  which  will	be
       returned  by  catgets()	if the identified message catalog is not currently available.  The message-text is contained in an internal buffer
       area and should be copied by the application if it is to be saved or modified.  The return string is always terminated  with  a	null  byte
       ('').

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  catgets()	returns a pointer to an internal buffer area containing the null-terminated message string.  On failure, catgets()
       returns the value message.

NOTES

       The catgets() function is available only in libc.so.4.4.4c and above.  The Jan 1987 X/Open Portability Guide specifies a more subtle  error
       return:	message  is returned if the message catalog specified by catalog is not available, while an empty string is returned when the mes-
       sage catalog is available but does not contain the specified message.  These two possible error returns seem to be discarded  in  SUSv2	in
       favor of always returning message.
