catclose(3)
NAME
  catclose - Close a specified message catalog

SYNOPSIS
  #include <nl_types.h>

  int catclose(
	  nl_catd cat_descriptor );

LIBRARY
  Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS
  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.

PARAMETERS
  cat_descriptor
      Specifies a message catalog descriptor that was returned from a call to
      the catopen() function.

DESCRIPTION
  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.

NOTES
  The cat_descriptor pointer is not valid once the catclose() function has
  been called for that cat_descriptor.

RETURN VALUES
  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.)

ERRORS
  [EBADF]
      The catalog descriptor is not valid.
