* \brief C API: Resource Bundle
*
* <h2>C API: Resource Bundle</h2>
*
* 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.
* <P>
* Resource bundles in ICU4C are currently defined using text files which conform to the following
* <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/bnf_rb.txt">BNF definition</a>.
* More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the
* <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/ResourceManagement.html">Users Guide</a>.
* <P>
