| <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> | |
| <h2>ERRORS | |
| <a name="ERRORS"></a> | |

| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following | |
| error can occur, among others:</p> | |

| </h2> | |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The return type | |
| ought to be <b>const char *</b>, but is <b>char *</b> to | |
| avoid warnings in C code predating ANSI C.</p> | |
