mkmsgs

mkmsgs(1)						      General Commands Manual							 mkmsgs(1)

NAME

       mkmsgs - create message files for use by gettxt()

SYNOPSIS

       locale] textfile msgfile

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  takes  as input a file of localized text strings and generates a message file that can be accessed by the gettxt(3C) routine.
       textfile is the name of the file that contains the text strings.  msgfile is the name of the output message file.  appends  the	suffix	to
       the  message  file  name.   The combined length of the file name should be less than 14 bytes for short file name file system.  The msgfile
       file should not contain a colon since it will confuse the formatting routines.

       The textfile file contains the localized text strings.  The text strings are separated by a newline character.  The text strings  are  pro-
       cessed sequentially and copied to the msgfile message file.  An empty line in the input results in a corresponding empty message written to
       the msgfile message file.

   Options
       The command supports the following options:

	      Overwrite the  msgfile message file if it exists.

	      The	     msgfile message file is installed in the system-wide localization directory corresponding to  the	specified  locale.
			     Only  a  user with the appropriate privileges can create or overwrite the message file in that directory.	The direc-
			     tory will be created if it does not exist.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the interpretation of messages as single- and/or multibyte characters.

       Messages are issued in if it is set to a valid language and messages are available.  Otherwise "C" locale messages are issued.

       If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default for each unspecified or empty vari-
       able.   If  is  not  specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization
       variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES

       The following example shows the format of the input text strings:
