+/**
+ * \file
+ * \brief C API: Message Catalog Wrappers
+ *
+ * This C API provides look-alike functions that deliberately resemble
+ * the POSIX catopen, catclose, and catgets functions. The underlying
+ * implementation is in terms of ICU resource bundles, rather than
+ * POSIX message catalogs.
+ *
+ * The ICU resource bundles obey standard ICU inheritance policies.
+ * To facilitate this, sets and messages are flattened into one tier.
+ * This is done by creating resource bundle keys of the form
+ * <set_num>%<msg_num> where set_num is the set number and msg_num is
+ * the message number, formatted as decimal strings.
+ *
+ * Example: Consider a message catalog containing two sets:
+ *
+ * Set 1: Message 4 = "Good morning."
+ * Message 5 = "Good afternoon."
+ * Message 7 = "Good evening."
+ * Message 8 = "Good night."
+ * Set 4: Message 14 = "Please "
+ * Message 19 = "Thank you."
+ * Message 20 = "Sincerely,"
+ *
+ * The ICU resource bundle source file would, assuming it is named
+ * "greet.txt", would look like this:
+ *
+ * greet
+ * {
+ * 1%4 { "Good morning." }
+ * 1%5 { "Good afternoon." }
+ * 1%7 { "Good evening." }
+ * 1%8 { "Good night." }
+ *
+ * 4%14 { "Please " }
+ * 4%19 { "Thank you." }
+ * 4%20 { "Sincerely," }
+ * }
+ *
+ * The catgets function is commonly used in combination with functions
+ * like printf and strftime. ICU components like message format can
+ * be used instead, although they use a different format syntax.
+ * There is an ICU package, icuio, that provides some of
+ * the POSIX-style formatting API.
