<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The <B>textdomain</B> function sets or retrieves the current message domain.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
A message domain is a set of translatable <I>msgid</I> messages. Usually,
|
|
every software package has its own message domain. The domain name is used
|
|
to determine the message catalog where a translation is looked up; it must
|
|
be a non-empty string.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The current message domain is used by the <B>gettext</B>, <B>ngettext</B>
|
|
functions, and by the <B>dgettext</B>, <B>dcgettext</B>, <B>dngettext</B> and
|
|
<B>dcngettext</B> functions when called with a NULL domainname argument.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If <I>domainname</I> is not NULL, the current message domain is set to
|
|
<I>domainname</I>. The string the function stores internally is a copy of the
|
|
<I>domainname</I> argument.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If <I>domainname</I> is NULL, the function returns the current message domain.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
If successful, the <B>textdomain</B> function returns the current message
|
|
domain, after possibly changing it. The resulting string is valid until the
|
|
next <B>textdomain</B> call 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.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
|
|
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
|
|
|
|
The following error can occur, among others:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>ENOMEM</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Not enough memory available.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
|
|
<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
|
|
|
The return type ought to be <B>const char *</B>, but is <B>char *</B> to avoid
|
|
warnings in C code predating ANSI C.
