A message domain is a set of translatable <i>msgid</i> |
54 |
messages. Usually, every software package has its own |
55 |
message domain. The need for calling <b>bindtextdomain</b> |
56 |
arises because packages are not always installed with the |
57 |
same prefix as the <libintl.h> header and the |
58 |
libc/libintl libraries.</td></table> |

Message catalogs will be expected at the pathnames |
65 |
<i>dirname</i>/<i>locale</i>/<i>category</i>/<i>domainname</i>.mo, |
66 |
where <i>locale</i> is a locale name and <i>category</i> is |
67 |
a locale facet such as <b>LC_MESSAGES</b>.</td></table> |

If <i>dirname</i> is not NULL, the base directory for |
80 |
message catalogs belonging to domain <i>domainname</i> is |
81 |
set to <i>dirname</i>. The function makes copies of the |
82 |
argument strings as needed. If the program wishes to call |
83 |
the <b>chdir</b> function, it is important that |
84 |
<i>dirname</i> be an absolute pathname; otherwise it cannot |
85 |
be guaranteed that the message catalogs will be |
86 |
found.</td></table> |

If successful, the <b>bindtextdomain</b> function returns |
103 |
the current base directory for domain <i>domainname</i>, |
104 |
after possibly changing it. The resulting string is valid |
105 |
until the next <b>bindtextdomain</b> call for the same |
106 |
<i>domainname</i> and must not be modified or freed. If a |
107 |
memory allocation failure occurs, it sets <b>errno</b> to |
108 |
<b>ENOMEM</b> and returns NULL.</td></table> |
