DtHelpSetCatalogName(3)
CDE
NAME
  DtHelpSetCatalogName - assign the name of the message catalog to use for
  help services

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Dt/Help.h>
  void DtHelpSetCatalogName(char *catFile);

DESCRIPTION
  The DtHelpSetCatalogName function provides an interface for applications to
  set the name of the message catalog file that the help services library
  uses at runtime. This message catalog contains all strings, messages and
  button labels used in the help widgets that can be localized.

  The catFile argument specifies the name of the message catalog file that
  the help services library accesses at runtime.  See catopen(3) for more
  information on the message catalog naming and location semantics for
  various environments.

RETURN VALUE
  The DtHelpSetCatalogName function returns no value.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The DtHelpSetCatalogName function is only required if applications deliver
  localized online help information into a non-localized CDE desktop
  environment. In this case, applications must use this function and give the
  help message catalog file a unique name in order to avoid collision with
  other clients using and localizing their online-help user interface.	In
  order for this call to properly affect the help services library, this call
  must be made prior to creation of any help widgets.
