 NAME
   dce_msg_cat_open - DCE message catalog open routine

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/dce_msg.h>

   dce_msg_cat_handle_t dce_msg_cat_open( unsigned32 message_ID,
                                          error_status_t *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   message_ID
          The ID of the 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_cat_open() routine opens the message catalog that
   contains the specified message_ID. It returns a handle that can
   be used in subsequent calls to dce_msg_cat_get_msg().  On error,
   it returns NULL and fills in status with an appropriate error code.

 ERROR CODES

   See dce_msg_get.
