SETCAT 3C "February 17, 2023"
NAME
setcat - define default catalog
SYNOPSIS
#include <pfmt.h> char *setcat(const char *catalog);
DESCRIPTION
The setcat() function defines the default message catalog to be used by
subsequent calls to gettxt(3C), lfmt(3C), or pfmt(3C) that do
not explicitly specify a message catalog.
The catalog argument must be limited to 14 characters. These characters must be selected from a set of all characters values, excluding \e0 (null) and the ASCII codes for / (slash) and : (colon).
The setcat() function assumes that the catalog exists. No checking is done on the argument.
A null pointer passed as an argument will result in the return of a pointer to the current default message catalog name. A pointer to an empty string passed as an argument will cancel the default catalog.
If no default catalog is specified, or if catalog is an invalid catalog name, subsequent calls to gettxt(3C), lfmt(3C), or pfmt(3C) that do not explicitly specify a catalog name will use Message not found!!\en as default string.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, setcat() returns a pointer to the catalog
name. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Example of setcat() function.
setcat("test");
gettxt(":10", "hello world\en")
