jpayne@68 58 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
jpayne@68 59 <b>bindtextdomain</b> function sets the base directory of
jpayne@68 60 the hierarchy containing message catalogs for a given
jpayne@68 61 message domain.</p>
jpayne@68 62
jpayne@68 63 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">A message
jpayne@68 64 domain is a set of translatable <i>msgid</i> messages.
jpayne@68 65 Usually, every software package has its own message domain.
jpayne@68 66 The need for calling <b>bindtextdomain</b> arises because
jpayne@68 67 packages are not always installed with the same prefix as
jpayne@68 68 the &lt;libintl.h&gt; header and the libc/libintl
jpayne@68 69 libraries.</p>
jpayne@68 70
jpayne@68 71 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Message
jpayne@68 72 catalogs will be expected at the pathnames
jpayne@68 73 <i>dirname</i>/<i>locale</i>/<i>category</i>/<i>domainname</i>.mo,
jpayne@68 74 where <i>locale</i> is a locale name and <i>category</i> is
jpayne@68 75 a locale facet such as <b>LC_MESSAGES</b>.</p>

jpayne@68 77
jpayne@68 78 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>domainname</i>
jpayne@68 79 must be a non-empty string.</p>
jpayne@68 80
jpayne@68 81 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If
jpayne@68 82 <i>dirname</i> is not NULL, the base directory for message
jpayne@68 83 catalogs belonging to domain <i>domainname</i> is set to
jpayne@68 84 <i>dirname</i>. The function makes copies of the argument
jpayne@68 85 strings as needed. If the program wishes to call the
jpayne@68 86 <b>chdir</b> function, it is important that <i>dirname</i>
jpayne@68 87 be an absolute pathname; otherwise it cannot be guaranteed
jpayne@68 88 that the message catalogs will be found.</p>
jpayne@68 89
jpayne@68 90 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If
jpayne@68 91 <i>dirname</i> is NULL, the function returns the previously
jpayne@68 92 set base directory for domain <i>domainname</i>.</p>

jpayne@68 100 the <b>bindtextdomain</b> function returns the current base

jpayne@68 102 changing it. The resulting string is valid until the next
jpayne@68 103 <b>bindtextdomain</b> call for the same <i>domainname</i>
jpayne@68 104 and must not be modified or freed. If a memory allocation
jpayne@68 105 failure occurs, it sets <b>errno</b> to <b>ENOMEM</b> and
jpayne@68 106 returns NULL.</p>
