C API: Resource Bundle

* * C API representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given * locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specific information in * a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given * locale and then ask it for individual resources. *

* Resource bundles in ICU4C are currently defined using text files which conform to the following * BNF definition. * More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the * Users Guide. *
