compile_et

COMPILE_ET(1)						      General Commands Manual						     COMPILE_ET(1)

NAME

       compile_et - tool for generating com_err error tables

SYNOPSIS

       compile_et [ --base table_base ] [ --etout out_dir ] [ --stringsout out_strings_dir ] error_table

DESCRIPTION

       compile_et is a tool to produce com_err style error code to string mappings for use with the com_err error_message() API.

       compile_et takes the com_err error table file error_table and generates a com_err source and header file for use with add_error_table() and
       remove_error_table().  It also generates an optional strings file for use with bundled applications.  If the contents of the  strings  file
       are added to Localizable.strings, then the application does not need to use add_error_table() and remove_error_table().

       compile_et  is  intended  to be used by the Kerberos implementation and third party plugins (eg: KLLoginLogoutNotification and KLPrincipal-
       Translation plugins).

OPTIONS

       --etout out_dir
	      output source, header and strings files to the directory out_dir.  By default compile_et places files in the current working  direc-
	      tory.

       --stringsout out_strings_dir
	      output the strings file to the directory out_strings_dir.  By default compile_et places the strings file in out_dir (if it is speci-
	      fied) or the current working directory.

       --base table_base
	      use table_base as the error table base name.  This is a four character code which identifies the error  table  in  the  error  table
	      database.

SEE ALSO

       kerberos(1)

BUGS

       Currently compile_et has no support for generating strings files for multiple localizations.  Strings files must be manually localized.
