#include <nl_types.h> char *catgets(nl_catd catd, int set_num, int msg_num, const char *s);
The catgets() function attempts to read message msg_num, in set set_num, from the message catalog identified by catd. The catd argument is a catalog descriptor returned from an earlier call to catopen(). The s argument points to a default message string which will be returned by catgets() if the identified message catalog is not currently available.
If the identified message is retrieved successfully, catgets() returns a pointer to an internal buffer area containing the null terminated message string. If the call is unsuccessful for any reason, catgets() returns a pointer to s and errno may be set to indicate the error.
The catgets() function may fail if: EBADF
The catd argument is not a valid message catalogue descriptor open for reading.
The number of %n specifiers that appear in the message string specified by s does not match the number of %n specifiers that appear in the message identified by set_id and msg_id in the specified message catalog.
The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no data was transferred.
The message catalog identified by catd is corrupted.
The message identified by set_id and msg_id is not in the message catalog.
The catgets() function can be used safely in multithreaded applications as long as setlocale(3C) is not being called to change the locale.
