+ * \brief C API: MessageFormat
+ *
+ * <h2>Message Format C API </h2>
+ *
+ * Provides means to produce concatenated messages in language-neutral way.
+ * Use this for all concatenations that show up to end users.
+ * <P>
+ * Takes a set of objects, formats them, then inserts the formatted
+ * strings into the pattern at the appropriate places.
+ * <P>
+ * Here are some examples of usage:
+ * Example 1:
+ * <pre>
+ * \code
+ *     UChar *result, *tzID, *str;
+ *     UChar pattern[100];
+ *     int32_t resultLengthOut, resultlength;
+ *     UCalendar *cal;
+ *     UDate d1;
+ *     UDateFormat *def1;
+ *     UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *
+ *     str=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (strlen("disturbance in force") +1));
+ *     u_uastrcpy(str, "disturbance in force");
+ *     tzID=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * 4);
+ *     u_uastrcpy(tzID, "PST");
+ *     cal=ucal_open(tzID, u_strlen(tzID), "en_US", UCAL_TRADITIONAL, &status);
+ *     ucal_setDateTime(cal, 1999, UCAL_MARCH, 18, 0, 0, 0, &status);
+ *     d1=ucal_getMillis(cal, &status);
+ *     u_uastrcpy(pattern, "On {0, date, long}, there was a {1} on planet {2,number,integer}");
+ *     resultlength=0;
+ *     resultLengthOut=u_formatMessage( "en_US", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), NULL, resultlength, &status, d1, str, 7);
+ *     if(status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
+ *         status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *         resultlength=resultLengthOut+1;
+ *         result=(UChar*)realloc(result, sizeof(UChar) * resultlength);
+ *         u_formatMessage( "en_US", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), result, resultlength, &status, d1, str, 7);
+ *     }
+ *     printf("%s\n", austrdup(result) );//austrdup( a function used to convert UChar* to char*)
+ *     //output>: "On March 18, 1999, there was a disturbance in force on planet 7
+ * \endcode
+ * </pre>
+ * Typically, the message format will come from resources, and the
+ * arguments will be dynamically set at runtime.
+ * <P>
+ * Example 2:
+ * <pre>
+ * \code
+ *     UChar* str;
+ *     UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *     UChar *result;
+ *     UChar pattern[100];
+ *     int32_t resultlength, resultLengthOut, i;
+ *     double testArgs= { 100.0, 1.0, 0.0};
+ *
+ *     str=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * 10);
+ *     u_uastrcpy(str, "MyDisk");
+ *     u_uastrcpy(pattern, "The disk {1} contains {0,choice,0#no files|1#one file|1<{0,number,integer} files}");
+ *     for(i=0; i<3; i++){
+ *       resultlength=0; 
+ *       resultLengthOut=u_formatMessage( "en_US", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), NULL, resultlength, &status, testArgs[i], str); 
+ *       if(status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
+ *         status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *         resultlength=resultLengthOut+1;
+ *         result=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * resultlength);
+ *         u_formatMessage( "en_US", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), result, resultlength, &status, testArgs[i], str);
+ *       }
+ *       printf("%s\n", austrdup(result) );  //austrdup( a function used to convert UChar* to char*)
+ *       free(result);
+ *     }
+ *     // output, with different testArgs:
+ *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 100 files.
+ *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains one file.
+ *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains no files.
+ * \endcode
+ *  </pre>
+ *
+ *
+ * Example 3:
+ * <pre>
+ * \code
+ * UChar* str;
+ * UChar* str1;
+ * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ * UChar *result;
+ * UChar pattern[100];
+ * UChar expected[100];
+ * int32_t resultlength,resultLengthOut;
+
+ * str=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * 25);
+ * u_uastrcpy(str, "Kirti");
+ * str1=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * 25);
+ * u_uastrcpy(str1, "female");
+ * log_verbose("Testing message format with Select test #1\n:");
+ * u_uastrcpy(pattern, "{0} est {1, select, female {all\\u00E9e} other {all\\u00E9}} \\u00E0 Paris.");
+ * u_uastrcpy(expected, "Kirti est all\\u00E9e \\u00E0 Paris.");
+ * resultlength=0;
+ * resultLengthOut=u_formatMessage( "fr", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), NULL, resultlength, &status, str , str1);
+ * if(status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
+ *  {
+ *      status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *      resultlength=resultLengthOut+1;
+ *      result=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * resultlength);
+ *      u_formatMessage( "fr", pattern, u_strlen(pattern), result, resultlength, &status, str , str1);
+ *      if(u_strcmp(result, expected)==0)
+ *          log_verbose("PASS: MessagFormat successful on Select test#1\n");
+ *      else{
+ *          log_err("FAIL: Error in MessageFormat on Select test#1\n GOT %s EXPECTED %s\n", austrdup(result),
+ *          austrdup(expected) );
+ *      }
+ *      free(result);
+ * }
+ * \endcode
+ *  </pre>
+ *
+
+ *  The pattern is of the following form.  Legend:
+ *  <pre>
+ * \code
+ *       {optional item}
+ *       (group that may be repeated)*
+ * \endcode
+ *  </pre>
+ *  Do not confuse optional items with items inside quotes braces, such
+ *  as this: "{".  Quoted braces are literals.
+ *  <pre>
+ * \code
+ *       messageFormatPattern := string ( "{" messageFormatElement "}" string )*
+ *
+ *       messageFormatElement := argument { "," elementFormat }
+ *
+ *       elementFormat := "time" { "," datetimeStyle }
+ *                      | "date" { "," datetimeStyle }
+ *                      | "number" { "," numberStyle }
+ *                      | "choice" "," choiceStyle
+ *                      | "select" "," selectStyle
+ *
+ *       datetimeStyle := "short"
+ *                      | "medium"
+ *                      | "long"
+ *                      | "full"
+ *                      | dateFormatPattern
+ *
+ *       numberStyle :=   "currency"
+ *                      | "percent"
+ *                      | "integer"
+ *                      | numberFormatPattern
+ *
+ *       choiceStyle :=   choiceFormatPattern
+ *
+ *       selectStyle :=   selectFormatPattern
+ * \endcode
+ * </pre>
+ * If there is no elementFormat, then the argument must be a string,
+ * which is substituted. If there is no dateTimeStyle or numberStyle,
+ * then the default format is used (e.g.  NumberFormat.getInstance(),
+ * DateFormat.getDefaultTime() or DateFormat.getDefaultDate(). For
+ * a ChoiceFormat, the pattern must always be specified, since there
+ * is no default.
+ * <P>
+ * In strings, single quotes can be used to quote the "{" sign if
+ * necessary. A real single quote is represented by ''.  Inside a
+ * messageFormatElement, quotes are [not] removed. For example,
+ * {1,number,$'#',##} will produce a number format with the pound-sign
+ * quoted, with a result such as: "$#31,45".
+ * <P>
+ * If a pattern is used, then unquoted braces in the pattern, if any,
+ * must match: that is, "ab {0} de" and "ab '}' de" are ok, but "ab
+ * {0'}' de" and "ab } de" are not.
+ * <p>
+ * <dl><dt><b>Warning:</b><dd>The rules for using quotes within message
+ * format patterns unfortunately have shown to be somewhat confusing.
+ * In particular, it isn't always obvious to localizers whether single
+ * quotes need to be doubled or not. Make sure to inform localizers about
+ * the rules, and tell them (for example, by using comments in resource
+ * bundle source files) which strings will be processed by MessageFormat.
+ * Note that localizers may need to use single quotes in translated
+ * strings where the original version doesn't have them.
+ * <br>Note also that the simplest way to avoid the problem is to
+ * use the real apostrophe (single quote) character U+2019 (') for
+ * human-readable text, and to use the ASCII apostrophe (U+0027 ' )
+ * only in program syntax, like quoting in MessageFormat.
+ * See the annotations for U+0027 Apostrophe in The Unicode Standard.</p>
+ * </dl>
+ * <P>
+ * The argument is a number from 0 to 9, which corresponds to the
+ * arguments presented in an array to be formatted.
+ * <P>
+ * It is ok to have unused arguments in the array.  With missing
+ * arguments or arguments that are not of the right class for the
+ * specified format, a failing UErrorCode result is set.
+ * <P>
+
+ * <P>
+ * [Note:] As we see above, the string produced by a choice Format in
+ * MessageFormat is treated specially; occurances of '{' are used to
+ * indicated subformats.
+ * <P>
+ * [Note:] Formats are numbered by order of variable in the string.
+ * This is [not] the same as the argument numbering!
+ * <pre>
+ * \code
+ *    For example: with "abc{2}def{3}ghi{0}...",
+ *
+ *    format0 affects the first variable {2}
+ *    format1 affects the second variable {3}
+ *    format2 affects the second variable {0}
+ * \endcode
+ * </pre>
+ * and so on.
