NAME dce_msg_get_cat_msg - Opens message catalog and retrieves message SYNOPSIS #include <dce/dce_msg.h> unsigned char *dce_msg_get_cat_msg( unsigned32 message, error_status_t *status ); PARAMETERS Input message ID of message to be retrieved. Output status Returns the status code from this operation. The status code is a value that indicates whether the routine completed successfully and if not, why not. DESCRIPTION The dce_msg_get_cat_msg() routine is a "convenience" form of the dce_msg_cat_get_msg() routine. The difference between it and the latter routine is that dce_msg_get_cat_msg() does not require the message catalog to be explicitly opened; it determines the correct catalog from the message parameter (which is a 32-bit DCE message ID as described in dce_error_inq_text), opens it, retrieves the message, and returns a pointer to malloc()'d space containing the message. If the message catalog is inaccessible, the routine returns an error. (See the routine dce_msg_get() for a description of the return value.) The routine will fail if the message catalog is not correctly installed. ERROR CODES See dce_msg_get.
