#include <diag/diago.h> char *diag_cat_gets ( fdes, setid, msgid ) nl_catd fdes; unsigned short setid; unsigned short msgid;
The diag_cat_gets subroutine is used to get messages from a catalog file. It first searches the normal catalog directory as specified by the $LANG and $NLSPATH environment variables. If the set and message is not found, the function searches the default catalog directory.
| fdes | Open catalog file descriptor returned from the diag_catopen() system call. |
| setid | Set ID of the message in the catalog. |
| msgid | Message ID of the message in the catalog that serves as the format string. |
The diag_cat_gets subroutine returns a character pointer to the message string.
