DtHelpSetCatalogName(library call) DtHelpSetCatalogName(library call)
NAMEDtHelpSetCatalogName — assign the name of the message catalog to use
for help services
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Help.h>
void DtHelpSetCatalogName(
char *catFile);
DESCRIPTION
The DtHelpSetCatalogName function provides an interface for applica‐
tions to set the name of the message catalog file that the help ser‐
vices library uses at runtime. This message catalog contains all
strings, messages and button labels used in the help widgets that can
be localized.
The catFile argument specifies the name of the message catalog file
that the help services library accesses at runtime. See catopen3C for
more information on the message catalog naming and location semantics
for various environments.
RETURN VALUE
The DtHelpSetCatalogName function returns no value.
APPLICATION USAGE
The DtHelpSetCatalogName function is only required if applications
deliver localized online help information into a non-localized CDE
desktop environment. In this case, applications must use this function
and give the help message catalog file a unique name in order to avoid
collision with other clients using and localizing their online-help
user interface. In order for this call to properly affect the help
services library, this call must be made prior to creation of any help
widgets.
