NAME
       catclose - Closes a specified message catalog

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <nl_types.h>

       int catclose(	  nl_catd cat_descriptor);

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       catclose():  XPG4

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
       Specifies a message catalog descriptor that was returned from a call to the catopen() function.

DESCRIPTION
       The catclose() function closes the message catalog identified by cat_descriptor.

       Before exiting, programs should close any message catalogs they have opened.

       If  a  program accesses several message catalogs, the NL_MAXOPEN number of open catalogs can be reached.  In this event, some message cata-
       logs must be closed before more can be opened.

NOTES
       The cat_descriptor pointer is not valid once the catclose() function has been called for that cat_descriptor.

RETURN VALUES
       On successful completion, the catclose() function returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, the function returns a value of -1.  (The  func-
       tion will return -1 if interrupted by a signal or if the catalog descriptor is invalid.)

ERRORS
       The catalog descriptor is not valid.
