    <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>
