catclose - Closes a specified message catalog
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
#include <nl_types.h>
int catclose(
nl_catd cat_descriptor);
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
catclose(): XPG4
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
Specifies a message catalog descriptor that was returned from a call to the catopen() function.
The catclose() function closes the message catalog identified by cat_descriptor.
Before exiting, programs should close any message catalogs they have opened.
If a program accesses several message catalogs, the NL_MAXOPEN number of open catalogs can be reached. In this event, some message catalogs must be closed before more can be opened.
The cat_descriptor pointer is not valid once the catclose() function has been called for that cat_descriptor.
On successful completion, the catclose() function returns a value of 0 (zero). Otherwise, the function returns a value of -1. (The function will return -1 if interrupted by a signal or if the catalog descriptor is invalid.)
