Usually, +every software package has its own message domain. +.PP +By default, the \fBgettext\fP family of functions returns translated messages +in the locale's character encoding, which can be retrieved as +\fBnl_langinfo(CODESET)\fP. The need for calling \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP +arises for programs which store strings in a locale independent way (e.g. +UTF-8) and want to avoid an extra character set conversion on the returned +translated messages. +.PP +\fIdomainname\fP must be a non-empty string. +.PP +If \fIcodeset\fP is not NULL, it must be a valid encoding name which can be +used for the \fBiconv_open\fP function. The \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP +function sets the output codeset for message catalogs belonging to domain +\fIdomainname\fP to \fIcodeset\fP. The function makes copies of the argument +strings as needed. +.PP +If \fIcodeset\fP is NULL, the function returns the previously set codeset for +domain \fIdomainname\fP. The default is NULL, denoting the locale's character +encoding. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +If successful, the \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP function returns the current +codeset for domain \fIdomainname\fP, after possibly changing it. The resulting +string is valid until the next \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP call for the same +\fIdomainname\fP and must not be modified or freed. If a memory allocation +failure occurs, it sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBENOMEM\fP and returns NULL. If no +codeset has been set for domain \fIdomainname\fP, it returns NULL. +.SH ERRORS +The following error can occur, among others: +.TP +.B ENOMEM +Not enough memory available. +.SH BUGS +The return type ought to be \fBconst char *\fP, but is \fBchar *\fP to avoid +warnings in C code predating ANSI C. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR gettext (3), +.BR dgettext (3), +.BR dcgettext (3), +.BR ngettext (3), +.BR dngettext (3), +.BR dcngettext (3), +.BR textdomain (3), +.BR nl_langinfo (3), +.BR iconv_open (3) |
