DCE Application Messaging

The routine will fail if the message catalog is not installed or if LANG is

not properly set.

The following code fragment shows how dce_msg_get_cat_msg( )

might be called to retrieve the ‘‘Hello World’’ message:

#include <dce/dce.h>

#include <dce/dce_msg.h>

#include "dcehelmsg.h"

unsigned32 status;

unsigned_char_t *msg;

<. . .>

msg = dce_msg_get_cat_msg(hello_msg, &status);

printf("Message from dce_msg_get_cat_msg == %s\n", msg);

dce_msg_cat_close( )

(DCE abstraction over catclose( )) Closes the catalog

speciﬁed by handle.

The following code fragment shows how dce_msg_cat_close( ) might be

called to close the message catalog containing the ‘‘Hello World’’

message:

#include <dce/dce.h>

#include <dce/dce_msg.h>

#include "dcehelmsg.h"

dce_msg_cat_handle_t hel_msg_handle;

unsigned32 status;

<. . .>

dce_msg_cat_close(hel_msg_handle, &status);
