/*****
 ***** Module Info
 *****/

/*! \file isc/msgcat.h
 * \brief The ISC Message Catalog
 * aids internationalization of applications by allowing
 * messages to be retrieved from locale-specific files instead of
 * hardwiring them into the application.  This allows translations of
 * messages appropriate to the locale to be supplied without recompiling
 * the application.
 *
 * Notes:
 *\li	It's very important that message catalogs work, even if only the
 *	default_text can be used.
 *
 * MP:
 *\li	The caller must ensure appropriate synchronization of
 *	isc_msgcat_open() and isc_msgcat_close().  isc_msgcat_get()
 *	ensures appropriate synchronization.
 *
 * Reliability:
 *\li	No anticipated impact.
 *
 * Resources:
 *\li	TBS
 *
 * \li Security:
 *	No anticipated impact.
 *
 * \li Standards:
 *	None.
