<p>
Registers a textdomain for localisation.
</p>
<p>
This procedure adds a textdomain to the list of domains Gimp
searches for strings when translating its menu entries. There is no
need to call this function for plug-ins that have their strings
included in the 'gimp-std-plugins' domain as that is used by
default. If the compiled message catalog is not in the standard
location, you may specify an absolute path to another location. This
procedure can only be called in the query function of a plug-in and
it has to be called before any procedure is installed.

<p>
This procedure registers user documentation for the calling plug-in
with the GIMP help system. The domain_uri parameter points to the
root directory where the plug-in help is installed. For each
supported language there should be a file called 'gimp-help.xml'
that maps the help IDs to the actual help files.

Sets an error handler for procedure calls.
</p>
<p>
This procedure changes the way that errors in procedure calls are
handled. By default GIMP will raise an error dialog if a procedure
call made by a plug-in fails. Using this procedure the plug-in can
change this behavior. If the error handler is set to

calling <a class="link" href="libgimp-Gimp.html#gimp-get-pdb-error" title="gimp_get_pdb_error ()"><code class="function">gimp_get_pdb_error()</code></a> and handling the error whenever one if
its procedure calls fails. It can do this by displaying the error
message or by forwarding it in its own return values.
