1) Public member function, calls the protected virtual member function do_get of the most derived class.
2) Obtains a message from the open message catalog cat using the values set, msgid and dfault in implementation-defined manner. If the expected message is not found in the catalog, returns a copy of dfault.
Parameters
| cat | - | identifier of message catalog obtained from open() and not yet passed to close() |
| set | - | implementation-defined argument, message set in POSIX |
| msgid | - | implementation-defined argument, message id in POSIX |
| dfault | - | the string to look up in the catalog (if the catalog uses string look-up) and also the string to return in case of a failure |
Return value
The message from the catalog or a copy of dfault if none was found.
Notes
On POSIX systems, this function call usually translates to a call to catgets(), and the parameters set, msgid, and dfault are passed to catgets() as-is. In GNU libstdc++, this function ignores set and msgid and simply calls GNU gettext(dfault) in the required locale.
Example
The following example demonstrated retrieval of messages: on a typical GNU/Linux system it reads from /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/sed.mo.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | #include <iostream>#include <locale> int main(){ std::locale loc("de_DE.utf8"); std::cout.imbue(loc); auto& facet = std::use_facet<std::messages<char>>(loc); auto cat = facet.open("sed", loc); if(cat < 0 ) std::cout << "Could not open german \"sed\" message catalog\n"; else std::cout << "\"No match\" in German: " << facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "No match") << '\n' << "\"Memory exhausted\" in German: " << facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "Memory exhausted") << '\n'; facet.close(cat);} |
Output:
1 2 | "No match" in German: Keine Übereinstimmung"Memory exhausted" in German: Speicher erschöpft |
