DESCRIPTION

     The catopen() function opens the message catalog specified by name and
     returns a message catalog descriptor.  If name contains a `/' then name
     specifies the full pathname for the message catalog, otherwise the value

     tor.  Otherwise, (nl_catd) -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate
     the error.
