Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 7d6b27238f man: xinclude the generic text to talk about libsystemd pkgconfig
The only difference is that functions are not individually listed by name,
but that seems completely pointless, since all functions that are documented
are always exported, so the generic text tells the user all she or he needs
to know.

<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>
