💖 CATCLOSE(3P) — POSIX Programmer's Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to CATCLOSE(3P) from the POSIX Programmer's Manual 🎀 this is the lil page that tells u how to close a message catalog, and it's honestly giving "short and sweet, knows what it wants" ✨

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

ok so real talk first, bestie 👑 — this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior, fr fr), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. 😭 iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

catclose — close a message catalog descriptor 🐚

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <nl_types.h>

int catclose(nl_catd catd);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The catclose() function shall close the message catalog identified by catd. 🔒➡️🔓

And listen, here's the tea: if a file descriptor is used to implement the type nl_catd, then that file descriptor shall be closed too. no cap. 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Upon successful completion, catclose() shall return 0. 🎉

Otherwise, -1 shall be returned, and errno gets set to indicate the error. 😭 (main character energy but make it a failure case)

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

The catclose() function may fail if:

  • EBADF — the catalog descriptor is not valid. 💀
  • EINTR — the catclose() function was interrupted by a signal. 🙈
