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.
