Имя (Name)

bind_textdomain_codeset - set encoding of message translations

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <libintl.h>

       char * bind_textdomain_codeset (const char * domainname,
                                       const char * codeset);

Описание (Description)

The bind_textdomain_codeset function sets the output codeset for
       message catalogs for domain domainname.

       A message domain is a set of translatable msgid messages.
       Usually, every software package has its own message domain.

       By default, the gettext family of functions returns translated
       messages in the locale's character encoding, which can be
       retrieved as nl_langinfo(CODESET). The need for calling
       bind_textdomain_codeset arises for programs which store strings
       in a locale independent way (e.g.  UTF-8) and want to avoid an
       extra character set conversion on the returned translated
       messages.

       domainname must be a non-empty string.

       If codeset is not NULL, it must be a valid encoding name which
       can be used for the iconv_open function. The
       bind_textdomain_codeset function sets the output codeset for
       message catalogs belonging to domain domainname to codeset. The
       function makes copies of the argument strings as needed.

       If codeset is NULL, the function returns the previously set
       codeset for domain domainname. The default is NULL, denoting the
       locale's character encoding.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

If successful, the bind_textdomain_codeset function returns the
       current codeset for domain domainname, after possibly changing
       it. The resulting string is valid until the next
       bind_textdomain_codeset call for the same domainname and must not
       be modified or freed. If a memory allocation failure occurs, it
       sets errno to ENOMEM and returns NULL. If no codeset has been set
       for domain domainname, it returns NULL.

Ошибки (Error)

The following error can occur, among others:

       ENOMEM Not enough memory available.

---

Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

The return type ought to be const char *, but is char * to avoid
       warnings in C code predating ANSI C.
