32 * \brief C API: Resource Bundle
34 * <h2>C API: Resource Bundle</h2>
36 * C API representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given
37 * locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specific information in
38 * a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given
39 * locale and then ask it for individual resources.
41 * Resource bundles in ICU4C are currently defined using text files which conform to the following
42 * <a href="http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/bnf_rb.txt">BNF definition</a>.
43 * More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the
44 * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/ResourceManagement.html">Users Guide</a>.
49 * UResourceBundle is an opaque type for handles for resource bundles in C APIs.
52 struct UResourceBundle
;
57 typedef struct UResourceBundle UResourceBundle
;
60 * Numeric constants for types of resource items.
65 /** Resource type constant for "no resource". @stable ICU 2.6 */
68 /** Resource type constant for 16-bit Unicode strings. @stable ICU 2.6 */
71 /** Resource type constant for binary data. @stable ICU 2.6 */
74 /** Resource type constant for tables of key-value pairs. @stable ICU 2.6 */
78 * Resource type constant for aliases;
79 * internally stores a string which identifies the actual resource
80 * storing the data (can be in a different resource bundle).
81 * Resolved internally before delivering the actual resource through the API.
87 * Resource type constant for a single 28-bit integer, interpreted as
88 * signed or unsigned by the ures_getInt() or ures_getUInt() function.
95 /** Resource type constant for arrays of resources. @stable ICU 2.6 */
99 * Resource type constant for vectors of 32-bit integers.

129 * Functions to create and destroy resource bundles.
133 * Opens a UResourceBundle, from which users can extract strings by using
134 * their corresponding keys.
135 * Note that the caller is responsible of calling <TT>ures_close</TT> on each succesfully
136 * opened resource bundle.
137 * @param packageName The packageName and locale together point to an ICU udata object,
138 * as defined by <code> udata_open( packageName, "res", locale, err) </code>
139 * or equivalent. Typically, packageName will refer to a (.dat) file, or to
140 * a package registered with udata_setAppData(). Using a full file or directory
141 * pathname for packageName is deprecated. If NULL, ICU data will be used.
142 * @param locale specifies the locale for which we want to open the resource
143 * if NULL, the default locale will be used. If strlen(locale) == 0
144 * root locale will be used.
146 * @param status fills in the outgoing error code.
147 * The UErrorCode err parameter is used to return status information to the user. To
148 * check whether the construction succeeded or not, you should check the value of
149 * U_SUCCESS(err). If you wish more detailed information, you can check for
150 * informational status results which still indicate success. U_USING_FALLBACK_WARNING
151 * indicates that a fall back locale was used. For example, 'de_CH' was requested,
152 * but nothing was found there, so 'de' was used. U_USING_DEFAULT_WARNING indicates that
153 * the default locale data or root locale data was used; neither the requested locale
154 * nor any of its fall back locales could be found. Please see the users guide for more
155 * information on this topic.

731 * Returns a UTF-8 string from a resource and a key.
732 * This function works only with table resources.
734 * The UTF-8 string may be returnable directly as a pointer, or
735 * it may need to be copied, or transformed from UTF-16 using u_strToUTF8()
738 * If forceCopy==TRUE, then the string is always written to the dest buffer
739 * and dest is returned.
741 * If forceCopy==FALSE, then the string is returned as a pointer if possible,
742 * without needing a dest buffer (it can be NULL). If the string needs to be
743 * copied or transformed, then it may be placed into dest at an arbitrary offset.
745 * If the string is to be written to dest, then U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR and
746 * U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING are set if appropriate, as usual.
748 * If the string is transformed from UTF-16, then a conversion error may occur
749 * if an unpaired surrogate is encountered. If the function is successful, then
750 * the output UTF-8 string is always well-formed.
752 * @param resB Resource bundle.
753 * @param key A key associated with the wanted resource
754 * @param dest Destination buffer. Can be NULL only if capacity=*length==0.
755 * @param pLength Input: Capacity of destination buffer.
756 * Output: Actual length of the UTF-8 string, not counting the
757 * terminating NUL, even in case of U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR.
758 * Can be NULL, meaning capacity=0 and the string length is not
759 * returned to the caller.
760 * @param forceCopy If TRUE, then the output string will always be written to
761 * dest, with U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR and
762 * U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING set if appropriate.
763 * If FALSE, then the dest buffer may or may not contain a
764 * copy of the string. dest may or may not be modified.
