Might be that it's rather got something to do with the way your terminal interprets escape sequences than with the shell itself, as it's even working with ksh88 on HP-UX and pdksh on Linux.
Hi there,
How can I expand the command filed sizing when using a ps command. With diretories and script names and parameters being set I'm not getting some of the information that I need (at the end of the command line).
I'm using HP_UX 11i.
Cheers,
Neil (2 Replies)

gettext
gettext(1) User Commands gettext(1)NAME
gettext - retrieve text string from message database
SYNOPSIS
gettext [-d textdomain | --domain=textdomain] [textdomain] msgid
gettext -s [-e] [-n] [-d textdomain | --domain=textdomain] msgid...
DESCRIPTION
The gettext utility retrieves a translated text string corresponding to string msgid from a message object generated with msgfmt(1). The
message object name is derived from the optional argument textdomain if present, otherwise from the TEXTDOMAIN environment. If no domain is
specified, or if a corresponding string cannot be found, gettext prints msgid.
Ordinarily, gettext looks for its message object in /usr/lib/locale/lang/LC_MESSAGES where lang is the locale name. If present, the TEXTDO-
MAINDIR environment variable replaces the pathname component up to lang.
This command interprets C escape sequences such as for tab. Use \ to print a backslash. To produce a message on a line of its own,
either enter
at the end of msgid, or use this command in conjunction with printf(1).
When used with the -s option, gettext behaves like echo(1). But it does not simply copy its arguments to standard output. Instead, those
messages found in the selected catalog are translated.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d textdomain Retrieves translated messages from the domain textdomain, if textdomain is not specified as an operand.
--domain=textdomain
-e Enables expansion of some escape sequences if used with the -s option.
-n Suppresses trailing newline if used with the -s option.
-s Behaves like echo(1) (see DESCRIPTION above). If the -s option is specified, no expansion of C escape sequences is
performed and a newline character is appended to the output, by default.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
textdomain A domain name used to retrieve the messages. This overrides the specification by the -d or --domain options, if
present.
msgid A key to retrieve the localized message.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LANG Specifies locale name.
LC_MESSAGES Specifies messaging locale, and if present overrides LANG for messages.
TEXTDOMAIN Specifies the text domain name, which is identical to the message object filename without .mo suffix.
TEXTDOMAINDIR Specifies the pathname to the message database. If present, replaces /usr/lib/locale.
