Historically, functions in this library provided wide character translations. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).

This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared object version is implemented as a filter on libintl.so.1, and the archive version is implemented as a null archive. New application development need not reference either version of libintl.

The shared object libintl.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.

/usr/lib/libintl.a

a link to /usr/lib/null.a

/usr/lib/libintl.so.1

a filter on libc.so.1

/usr/lib/64/libintl.so.1

a filter on 64/libc.so.1
