12 * Richard Gillam
13 *
14 * Modification History:
15 *
16 * Date Name Description
17 * 2/5/97 aliu Added scanForLocaleInFile. Added
18 * constructor which attempts to read resource bundle
19 * from a specific file, without searching other files.
20 * 2/11/97 aliu Added UErrorCode return values to constructors. Fixed
21 * infinite loops in scanForFile and scanForLocale.
22 * Modified getRawResourceData to not delete storage
23 * in localeData and resourceData which it doesn't own.
24 * Added Mac compatibility #ifdefs for tellp() and
25 * ios::nocreate.
26 * 2/18/97 helena Updated with 100% documentation coverage.
27 * 3/13/97 aliu Rewrote to load in entire resource bundle and store
28 * it as a Hashtable of ResourceBundleData objects.
29 * Added state table to govern parsing of files.
30 * Modified to load locale index out of new file
31 * distinct from default.txt.
32 * 3/25/97 aliu Modified to support 2-d arrays, needed for timezone
33 * data. Added support for custom file suffixes. Again,
34 * needed to support timezone data.
35 * 4/7/97 aliu Cleaned up.
36 * 03/02/99 stephen Removed dependency on FILE*.
37 * 03/29/99 helena Merged Bertrand and Stephen's changes.
38 * 06/11/99 stephen Removed parsing of .txt files.
39 * Reworked to use new binary format.
40 * Cleaned up.
41 * 06/14/99 stephen Removed methods taking a filename suffix.
42 * 11/09/99 weiv Added getLocale(), fRealLocale, removed fRealLocaleID

63 * A class representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given
64 * locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specfic information in
65 * a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given
66 * locale and then ask it for individual resources.
67 * <P>
68 * Resource bundles in ICU4C are currently defined using text files which conform to the following
69 * <a href="http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/bnf_rb.txt">BNF definition</a>.
70 * More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the
71 * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/ResourceManagement.html">Users Guide</a>.

85 * or equivalent. Typically, packageName will refer to a (.dat) file, or to
86 * a package registered with udata_setAppData(). Using a full file or directory
87 * pathname for packageName is deprecated.
88 * @param locale This is the locale this resource bundle is for. To get resources
89 * for the French locale, for example, you would create a
90 * ResourceBundle passing Locale::FRENCH for the "locale" parameter,
91 * and all subsequent calls to that resource bundle will return
92 * resources that pertain to the French locale. If the caller doesn't
93 * pass a locale parameter, the default locale for the system (as
94 * returned by Locale::getDefault()) will be used.
95 * @param err The Error Code.
96 * The UErrorCode& err parameter is used to return status information to the user. To
97 * check whether the construction succeeded or not, you should check the value of
98 * U_SUCCESS(err). If you wish more detailed information, you can check for
99 * informational error results which still indicate success. U_USING_FALLBACK_WARNING
100 * indicates that a fall back locale was used. For example, 'de_CH' was requested,
101 * but nothing was found there, so 'de' was used. U_USING_DEFAULT_WARNING indicates that
102 * the default locale data was used; neither the requested locale nor any of its
103 * fall back locales could be found.
