NAME
gettxt - retrieve a text string from a message database
SYNOPSIS
gettxt msgfile : msgnum [dflt_msg]
DESCRIPTION
gettxt retrieves a text string from a message file in the
directory /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES . The direc-
tory name locale corresponds to the language in which the
text strings are written; see setlocale(3C).
msgfile Name of the file in the directory
/usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES to
retrieve msgnum from. The name of msgfile
can be up to 14 characters in length, but
may not contain either \0 (null) or the
ASCII code for / (slash) or : (colon).
msgnum Sequence number of the string to retrieve
from msgfile. The strings in msgfile are
numbered sequentially from 1 to n, where n
is the number of strings in the file.
dflt_msg Default string to be displayed if gettxt
fails to retrieve msgnum from msgfile. Non-
graphic characters must be represented as
alphabetic escape sequences.
The text string to be retrieved is in the file msgfile,
created by the mkmsgs(1) utility and installed under the
directory /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES . You control
which directory is searched by setting the environment vari-
able LC_MESSAGES. If LC_MESSAGES is not set, the environment
variable LANG will be used. If LANG is not set, the files
containing the strings are under the directory
/usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES .
If gettxt fails to retrieve a message in the requested
language, it will try to retrieve the same message from
/usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/ msgfile. If this also fails,
and if dflt_msg is present and non-null, then it will
display the value of dflt_msg; if dflt_msg is not present or
is null, then it will display the string Message not
found!!.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: The environment variables LANG and LC_MESSAGES.
If the environment variables LANG or LC_MESSAGES have not
been set to other than their default values, the following
example:
example% gettxt UX:10 "hello world\n"
will try to retrieve the 10th message from
/usr/lib/locale/C/UX/msgfile. If the retrieval fails, the
message "hello world," followed by a newline, will be
displayed.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
variables that affect the execution of gettxt: LC_CTYPE and
LC_MESSAGES.
LC_CTYPE Determines how gettxt handles char-
acters. When LC_CTYPE is set to a
valid value, gettxt can display and
handle text and filenames containing
valid characters for that locale.
gettxt can display and handle
Extended Unix Code (EUC) characters
where any individual character can
be 1, 2, or 3 bytes wide. gettxt can
also handle EUC characters of 1, 2,
or more column widths. In the "C"
locale, only characters from ISO
8859-1 are valid.
LC_MESSAGES Determines how diagnostic and infor-
mative messages are presented. This
includes the language and style of
the messages, and the correct form
of affirmative and negative
responses. In the "C" locale, the
messages are presented in the
default form found in the program
itself (in most cases, U.S.
English).
