3. Information about the perl-gettext package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package perl-gettext:
-------------------------------------
Repository : Main Repository
Name : perl-gettext
Version : 1.07-1.442
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : SUSE LLC
Installed Size : 29.9 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : perl-gettext-1.07-1.442.src
Upstream URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/gettext/
Summary : Message Handling Functions
Description :
The gettext module permits access from perl to the gettext() family of
functions for retrieving message strings from databases constructed to
internationalize software.
* $d = Locale::gettext->domain(DOMAIN)
* $d = Locale::gettext->domain_raw(DOMAIN)
Creates a new object for retrieving strings in the domain *DOMAIN* and
returns it. 'domain' requests that strings be returned as Perl strings
(possibly with wide characters) if possible while 'domain_raw' requests
that octet strings directly from functions like 'dgettext()'.
* $d->get(MSGID)
Calls 'dgettext()' to return the translated string for the given *MSGID*.
* $d->cget(MSGID, CATEGORY)
Calls 'dcgettext()' to return the translated string for the given *MSGID*
in the given *CATEGORY*.
* $d->nget(MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, N)
Calls 'dngettext()' to return the translated string for the given *MSGID*
or *MSGID_PLURAL* depending on *N*.
* $d->ncget(MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, N, CATEGORY)
Calls 'dngettext()' to return the translated string for the given *MSGID*
or *MSGID_PLURAL* depending on *N* in the given *CATEGORY*.
* $d->dir([NEWDIR])
If *NEWDIR* is given, calls 'bindtextdomain' to set the name of the
directory where messages for the domain represented by '$d' are found.
Returns the (possibly changed) current directory name.
* $d->codeset([NEWCODE])
For instances created with 'Locale::gettext->domain_raw', manuiplates the
character set of the returned strings. If *NEWCODE* is given, calls
'bind_textdomain_codeset' to set the character encoding in which messages
for the domain represented by '$d' are returned. Returns the (possibly
changed) current encoding name.
gettext(), dgettext(), and dcgettext() attempt to retrieve a string
matching their 'msgid' parameter within the context of the current locale.
dcgettext() takes the message's category and the text domain as parameters
while dgettext() defaults to the LC_MESSAGES category and gettext()
defaults to LC_MESSAGES and uses the current text domain. If the string is
not found in the database, then 'msgid' is returned.
ngettext(), dngettext(), and dcngettext() function similarily but implement
differentiation of messages between singular and plural. See the
documentation for the corresponding C functions for details.
textdomain() sets the current text domain and returns the previously active
domain.
_bindtextdomain(domain, dirname)_ instructs the retrieval functions to look
for the databases belonging to domain 'domain' in the directory 'dirname'
_bind_textdomain_codeset(domain, codeset)_ instructs the retrieval
functions to translate the returned messages to the character encoding
given by *codeset* if the encoding of the message catalog is known.
