<h4><a name="tag_03_57_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>catgets</i>() function shall attempt to read message <i>msg_id</i>, in set <i>set_id</i>, from the message catalog
identified by <i>catd</i>. The <i>catd</i> argument is a message catalog descriptor returned from an earlier call to <a href=
"../functions/catopen.html"><i>catopen</i>()</a>. The <i>s</i> argument points to a default message string which shall be returned
by <i>catgets</i>() if it cannot retrieve the identified message.</p>
<p>The <i>catgets</i>() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to be reentrant is not required to be
thread-safe.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_57_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>If the identified message is retrieved successfully, <i>catgets</i>() shall return a pointer to an internal buffer area
containing the null-terminated message string. If the call is unsuccessful for any reason, <i>s</i> shall be returned and
<i>errno</i> may be set to indicate the error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_57_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>catgets</i>() function may fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EBADF]</dt>
<dd>The <i>catd</i> argument is not a valid message catalog descriptor open for reading.</dd>
<dt>[EBADMSG]</dt>
<dd>The message identified by <i>set_id</i> and <i>msg_id</i> in the specified message catalog did not satisfy
implementation-defined security criteria.</dd>
<dt>[EINTR]</dt>
<dd>The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no data was transferred.</dd>
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
<dd>The message catalog identified by <i>catd</i> is corrupted.</dd>
<dt>[ENOMSG]</dt>
<dd>The message identified by <i>set_id</i> and <i>msg_id</i> is not in the message catalog.</dd>
</dl>
