* CREATED BY
* Richard Gillam
*
* Modification History:
*
* Date Name Description
* 2/5/97 aliu Added scanForLocaleInFile. Added
* constructor which attempts to read resource bundle
* from a specific file, without searching other files.
* 2/11/97 aliu Added UErrorCode return values to constructors. Fixed
* infinite loops in scanForFile and scanForLocale.
* Modified getRawResourceData to not delete storage
* in localeData and resourceData which it doesn't own.
* Added Mac compatibility #ifdefs for tellp() and
* ios::nocreate.
* 2/18/97 helena Updated with 100% documentation coverage.
* 3/13/97 aliu Rewrote to load in entire resource bundle and store
* it as a Hashtable of ResourceBundleData objects.
* Added state table to govern parsing of files.
* Modified to load locale index out of new file
* distinct from default.txt.
* 3/25/97 aliu Modified to support 2-d arrays, needed for timezone
* data. Added support for custom file suffixes. Again,
* needed to support timezone data.
* 4/7/97 aliu Cleaned up.
* 03/02/99 stephen Removed dependency on FILE*.
* 03/29/99 helena Merged Bertrand and Stephen's changes.
* 06/11/99 stephen Removed parsing of .txt files.
* Reworked to use new binary format.
* Cleaned up.
* 06/14/99 stephen Removed methods taking a filename suffix.
* 11/09/99 weiv Added getLocale(), fRealLocale, removed fRealLocaleID

/**
* A class representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given
* locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specfic 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://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/bnf_rb.txt">BNF definition</a>.
* More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the
* <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/ResourceManagement.html">Users Guide</a>.
* <P>
*
* The ResourceBundle class is not suitable for subclassing.

/**
* Constructor
*
* @param packageName The packageName and locale together point to an ICU udata object,
* as defined by <code> udata_open( packageName, "res", locale, err) </code>
* or equivalent. Typically, packageName will refer to a (.dat) file, or to
* a package registered with udata_setAppData(). Using a full file or directory
* pathname for packageName is deprecated.
* @param locale This is the locale this resource bundle is for. To get resources
* for the French locale, for example, you would create a
* ResourceBundle passing Locale::FRENCH for the "locale" parameter,
* and all subsequent calls to that resource bundle will return
* resources that pertain to the French locale. If the caller doesn't
* pass a locale parameter, the default locale for the system (as
* returned by Locale::getDefault()) will be used.
* @param err The Error Code.
* The UErrorCode& err parameter is used to return status information to the user. To
* check whether the construction succeeded or not, you should check the value of
* U_SUCCESS(err). If you wish more detailed information, you can check for
* informational error results which still indicate success. U_USING_FALLBACK_WARNING
* indicates that a fall back locale was used. For example, 'de_CH' was requested,
* but nothing was found there, so 'de' was used. U_USING_DEFAULT_WARNING indicates that
* the default locale data was used; neither the requested locale nor any of its
* fall back locales could be found.
