LIBINTL(3LIB) Interface Libraries LIBINTL(3LIB)

NAME

libintl - internationalization library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lintl [ library... ]
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h> /* needed for dcgettext() only */

DESCRIPTION

Historically, functions in this library provided wide character
translations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).


This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both
runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is
implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development
need not specify -lintl.

INTERFACES

The shared object libintl.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object
interfaces.
