<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> retrieves a
message catalog entry for the current journal entry. This will
look up an entry in the message catalog by using the
<literal>MESSAGE_ID=</literal> field of the current journal entry.
Before returning the entry all journal field names in the catalog
entry text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the respective
field values of the current entry. If a field name referenced in
the message catalog entry does not exist, in the current journal
entry, the "@" will be removed, but the field name otherwise left
untouched.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
works similar to <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> but
the entry is looked up by the specified message ID (no open
journal context is necessary for this), and no field substitution
is performed.</para>
<para>For more information about the journal message catalog
please refer to the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog">Journal
Message Catalogs</ulink> documentation page.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If no
matching message catalog entry is found, -ENOENT is
returned.</para>
<para>On successful return, <parameter>ret</parameter> points to a
new string, which must be freed with
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>Notes</title>
<para>Function <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> is thread-agnostic and only a
single thread may operate on a given <structname>sd_journal</structname> object. Function
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function> is thread-safe.</para>
<para>The <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be
compiled and linked to with the
<constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
