NAME
catclose - Closes a specified message catalog
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <nl_types.h>
int catclose( nl_catd cat_descriptor);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan-
dards as follows:
catclose(): XPG4
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in-
dustry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
Specifies a message catalog descriptor that was returned from a call to
the catopen() function.
DESCRIPTION
The catclose() function closes the message catalog identified by
cat_descriptor.
Before exiting, programs should close any message catalogs they have
opened.
If a program accesses several message catalogs, the NL_MAXOPEN number
of open catalogs can be reached. In this event, some message catalogs
must be closed before more can be opened.
NOTES
The cat_descriptor pointer is not valid once the catclose() function
has been called for that cat_descriptor.
RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, the catclose() function returns a value of 0
(zero). Otherwise, the function returns a value of -1. (The function
will return -1 if interrupted by a signal or if the catalog descriptor
is invalid.)
