 *
 * <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://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>.
