The underlying + * implementation is in terms of ICU resource bundles, rather than + * POSIX message catalogs. + * + * The ICU resource bundles obey standard ICU inheritance policies. + * To facilitate this, sets and messages are flattened into one tier. + * This is done by creating resource bundle keys of the form + * <set_num>%<msg_num> where set_num is the set number and msg_num is + * the message number, formatted as decimal strings. + * + * Example: Consider a message catalog containing two sets: + * + * Set 1: Message 4 = "Good morning." + * Message 5 = "Good afternoon." + * Message 7 = "Good evening." + * Message 8 = "Good night." + * Set 4: Message 14 = "Please " + * Message 19 = "Thank you." + * Message 20 = "Sincerely," + * + * The ICU resource bundle source file would, assuming it is named + * "greet.txt", would look like this: + * + * greet + * { + * 1%4 { "Good morning." } + * 1%5 { "Good afternoon." } + * 1%7 { "Good evening." } + * 1%8 { "Good night." } + * + * 4%14 { "Please " } + * 4%19 { "Thank you." } + * 4%20 { "Sincerely," } + * } + * + * The catgets function is commonly used in combination with functions + * like printf and strftime. ICU components like message format can + * be used instead, although they use a different format syntax. + * There is an ICU package, icuio, that provides some of + * the POSIX-style formatting API. + */ + +U_CDECL_BEGIN + +/** + * An ICU message catalog descriptor, analogous to nl_catd. + * + * @stable ICU 2.6 + */ +typedef UResourceBundle* u_nl_catd; + +/** + * Open and return an ICU message catalog descriptor.
