<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="http://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><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
