| <h2>SYNOPSIS |
| <a name="SYNOPSIS"></a> |
| </h2> |
|
|
|
|
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>#include |
| <libintl.h></b></p> |
|
|
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>char * |
| bindtextdomain (const char *</b> <i>domainname</i><b>, const |
| char *</b> <i>dirname</i><b>);</b></p> |

| <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> |
