       DESCRIPTION
             This header file contains the following definitions:

             nl_catd           used by the message catalog functions
                               catopen, catgets and catclose to identify a
                               catalog

             nl_item           used by nl_langinfo to identify items of
                               langinfo data.  Values for objects of type
                               nl_item are defined in langinfo.h

             NL_SETD           used by gencat when no $set directive is
                               specified in a message text source file.
                               This constant can be used in subsequent
                               calls to catgets as the value of the set
                               identifier parameter.

             NL_MGSMAX         maximum number of messages per set

             NL_SETMAX         maximum number of sets per catalog

             NL_TEXTMAX        maximum size of a message

             DEF_NLSPATH       the default search path for locating
                               catalogs

             NL_CAT_LOCALE     passed to catopen as the oflag argument to
                               ensure that message catalog selection is
                               dependent on the LC_MESSAGES locale category
                               instead of directly on the LANG environment
                               variable.
