<h2>DESCRIPTION
|
|
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
|
|
<b>bindtextdomain</b> function sets the base directory of
|
|
the hierarchy containing message catalogs for a given
|
|
message domain.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">A message
|
|
domain is a set of translatable <i>msgid</i> messages.
|
|
Usually, every software package has its own message domain.
|
|
The need for calling <b>bindtextdomain</b> arises because
|
|
packages are not always installed with the same prefix as
|
|
the <libintl.h> header and the libc/libintl
|
|
libraries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Message
|
|
catalogs will be expected at the pathnames
|
|
<i>dirname</i>/<i>locale</i>/<i>category</i>/<i>domainname</i>.mo,
|
|
where <i>locale</i> is a locale name and <i>category</i> is
|
|
a locale facet such as <b>LC_MESSAGES</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>domainname</i>
|
|
must be a non-empty string.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If
|
|
<i>dirname</i> is not NULL, the base directory for message
|
|
catalogs belonging to domain <i>domainname</i> is set to
|
|
<i>dirname</i>. The function makes copies of the argument
|
|
strings as needed. If the program wishes to call the
|
|
<b>chdir</b> function, it is important that <i>dirname</i>
|
|
be an absolute pathname; otherwise it cannot be guaranteed
|
|
that the message catalogs will be found.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If
|
|
<i>dirname</i> is NULL, the function returns the previously
|
|
set base directory for domain <i>domainname</i>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>RETURN VALUE
|
|
<a name="RETURN VALUE"></a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If successful,
|
|
the <b>bindtextdomain</b> function returns the current base
|
|
directory for domain <i>domainname</i>, after possibly
|
|
changing it. The resulting string is valid until the next
|
|
<b>bindtextdomain</b> call for the same <i>domainname</i>
|
|
and must not be modified or freed. If a memory allocation
|
|
failure occurs, it sets <b>errno</b> to <b>ENOMEM</b> and
|
|
returns NULL.</p>
