19 * \brief C API: Message Catalog Wrappers | |
20 * | |
21 * This C API provides look-alike functions that deliberately resemble | |
22 * the POSIX catopen, catclose, and catgets functions. The underlying | |
23 * implementation is in terms of ICU resource bundles, rather than | |
24 * POSIX message catalogs. | |
25 * | |
26 * The ICU resource bundles obey standard ICU inheritance policies. | |
27 * To facilitate this, sets and messages are flattened into one tier. | |
28 * This is done by creating resource bundle keys of the form | |
29 * <set_num>%<msg_num> where set_num is the set number and msg_num i
s | |
30 * the message number, formatted as decimal strings. | |
31 * | |
32 * Example: Consider a message catalog containing two sets: | |
33 * | |
34 * Set 1: Message 4 = "Good morning." | |
35 * Message 5 = "Good afternoon." | |
36 * Message 7 = "Good evening." | |
37 * Message 8 = "Good night." | |
38 * Set 4: Message 14 = "Please " | |
39 * Message 19 = "Thank you." | |
40 * Message 20 = "Sincerely," | |
41 * | |
42 * The ICU resource bundle source file would, assuming it is named | |
43 * "greet.txt", would look like this: | |
44 * | |
45 * greet | |
46 * { | |
47 * 1%4 { "Good morning." } | |
48 * 1%5 { "Good afternoon." } | |
49 * 1%7 { "Good evening." } | |
50 * 1%8 { "Good night." } | |
51 * | |
52 * 4%14 { "Please " } | |
53 * 4%19 { "Thank you." } | |
54 * 4%20 { "Sincerely," } | |
55 * } | |
56 * | |
57 * The catgets function is commonly used in combination with functions | |
58 * like printf and strftime. ICU components like message format can | |
59 * be used instead, although they use a different format syntax. | |
60 * There is an ICU package, icuio, that provides some of | |
61 * the POSIX-style formatting API. | |
