| VMS Help CRTL, catgets, Description *Conan The Librarian | 
    The catgets function retrieves a message identified by set_id
    and msg_id, in the message catalog catd. The message is stored in
    a message buffer in the nl_catd structure, which is overwritten
    by subsequent calls to catgets. If a message string needs to
    be preserved, it should be copied to another location by the
    program.
