Overview
The catgets() function attempts to retrieve message msg_id of set set_id from the message catalog referenced by the descriptor catd. The argument s points to a default message which is returned if the function is unable to retrieve the specified message.
Return values
If the specified message was retrieved successfully, catgets() returns a pointer to an internal buffer containing the message string; otherwise it returns s.
Errors
