+.SH NAME
+catgets \- read a program message
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <nl_types.h>
+.br
+.sp
+char *catgets(nl_catd\fP \fIcatd\fP\fB, int s\fP\fIet_id\fP\fB, int\fP
+\fImsg_id\fP\fB, const char
+*\fP\fIs\fP\fB); \fP
+\fB
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIcatgets\fP() function shall attempt to read message \fImsg_id\fP,
+in set \fIset_id\fP, from the message catalog
+identified by \fIcatd\fP. The \fIcatd\fP argument is a message catalog
+descriptor returned from an earlier call to \fIcatopen\fP(). The \fIs\fP
+argument points to a default message string which shall be returned
+by \fIcatgets\fP() if it cannot retrieve the identified message.
+.LP
+The \fIcatgets\fP() function need not be reentrant. A function that
+is not required to be reentrant is not required to be
+thread-safe.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+If the identified message is retrieved successfully, \fIcatgets\fP()
+shall return a pointer to an internal buffer area
+containing the null-terminated message string. If the call is unsuccessful
+for any reason, \fIs\fP shall be returned and
+\fIerrno\fP may be set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIcatgets\fP() function may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EBADF
+The \fIcatd\fP argument is not a valid message catalog descriptor
+open for reading.
+.TP 7
+.B EBADMSG
+The message identified by \fIset_id\fP and \fImsg_id\fP in the specified
+message catalog did not satisfy
+implementation-defined security criteria.
+.TP 7
+.B EINTR
+The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal,
+and no data was transferred.
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The message catalog identified by \fIcatd\fP is corrupted.
+.TP 7
+.B ENOMSG
+The message identified by \fIset_id\fP and \fImsg_id\fP is not in
+the message catalog.
