NAME
findmsg, dumpmsg - create message catalog file for modification
SYNOPSIS
sym] sym]] file ...

DESCRIPTION
The command extracts messages from a C program source file and writes them to the standard output in a format suitable for input to (see
gencat(1)). The input file will be preprocessed using (see cpp(1)) in order to select print specifiers and handle conditional primitives.
If multiple input files are specified and the option is not used, the files are processed sequentially such that message catalog comment
lines identifying the input file are written before the output for each input file.
The command scans the source files for uncommented lines with one of the following three formats embedded within it:
or any combination of these formats wholly contained on a single physical line. could be a string constant or a combination of string con-
stants and print specifiers (PRI*). Any number of spaces or tabs can separate the comment from the message. The digit n, which can be any
valid message number (see gencat(1)), is combined with the message string to produce a message catalog source line. The message source
line is assigned to the set whose number is the current value of as set by the last directive encountered. If has not yet been defined
when a message line is found, the message is output without a set number specification. If more than one message is found belonging to the
same set and message number, the last message found is output; any others are silently discarded. Conditional compilation and instructions
in the C source files are ignored.
Options

Merge identically numbered sets from multiple input
files so that can process the output.
