It have following prototype: catopen(const char *name, int oflag); and is called by tcsh(1) only in sh.func.c: catd = catopen(catalog, MCLoadBySet); The MCLoadBySet is defined only in sh.h: # ifndef MCLoadBySet # define MCLoadBySet 0 # endif ===== quote from catopen(3) manual ===== If the oflag argument is set to the NL_CAT_LOCALE constant, LC_MESSAGES locale category used to open the message catalog; using NL_CAT_LOCALE conforms to the X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4 (``XPG4'') standard. You can specify 0 for compatibility with X/Open Portability Guide Issue 3 (``XPG3''); when oflag is set to 0, the LANG environment variable deter- mines the message catalog locale. ===== quote from catopen(3) manual ===== >How-To-Repeat: 1. run csh or tcsh 2. change the LANG environment variable to fr_FR.ISO8859-15 or ru_RU.KOI8-R 3. change LC_MESSAGES environment variable to C 4. run any non-existent command, for example 'gg', and see in what language you get the error message. Just a short example: > locale LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15 LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.ISO8859-15" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.ISO8859-15" LC_TIME="fr_FR.ISO8859-15" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.ISO8859-15" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.ISO8859-15" LC_MESSAGES=C LC_ALL= > gg gg: Commande introuvable. >Fix: --- /usr/src/bin/csh/config.h Sun Jul 11 05:23:38 2004 +++ config.h Thu Jan 27 22:08:22 2005 @@ -130,6 +130,8 @@ /* we want to use the system malloc when we install as /bin/csh */ #define SYSMALLOC #define BSD_STYLE_COLORLS +/* LC_MESSAGES locale category used to open the message catalog */ +#define MCLoadBySet NL_CAT_LOCALE #endif #if defined(__NetBSD__) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
