.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The module \fBLocale::gettext_xs\fR is the low-level interface to 
message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is
for example used in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.
.PP
The module does not necessarily work on your system.  It depends
on the presence of shared libraries that are not always available.
The higher-level modules \fBLocale::TextDomain::\fR\|(3), resp. 
\&\fBLocale::Messages\fR\|(3) will fall back to a pure Perl version if 
boostrapping \fBLocale::gettext_xs\fR fails.
.PP
The interface of \fBLocale::gettext_xs\fR is mostly identical to the pure 
Perl version as described in \fBLocale::gettext_pp\fR\|(3), see there for details.
Differences are outlined below.
.PP
\&\fBLocale::gettext_xs\fR is downwards compatible to \fBLocale::gettext\fR\|(3)
by Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET>.  You can use it as replacement
for \fBLocale::gettext\fR\|(3).
.PP
Please note that directory names passed to the function \fBbindtextdomain()\fR
are automatically converted from Perl semantics (slash as directory
separator) to local semantics (for example the backslash for MS-DOS).
