COMP_ERR(1)						       MySQL Database System						       COMP_ERR(1)

NAME
comp_err - compile MySQL error message file SYNOPSIS
comp_err [options] DESCRIPTION
comp_err creates the errmsg.sys file that is used by mysqld to determine the error messages to display for different error codes. comp_err normally is run automatically when MySQL is built. It compiles the errmsg.sys file from the plaintext file located at sql/share/errmsg.txt in MySQL source distributions. comp_err also generates mysqld_error.h, mysqld_ername.h, and sql_state.h header files. For more information about how error messages are defined, see the MySQL Internals Manual[1]. Invoke comp_err like this: shell> comp_err [options] comp_err supports the following options. o --help, -? Display a help message and exit. o --charset=path, -C path The character set directory. The default is ../sql/share/charsets. o --debug=debug_options, -# debug_options Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is d:t:O,file_name. The default is d:t:O,/tmp/comp_err.trace. o --debug-info, -T Print some debugging information when the program exits. o --header_file=file_name, -H file_name The name of the error header file. The default is mysqld_error.h. o --in_file=file_name, -F file_name The name of the input file. The default is ../sql/share/errmsg.txt. o --name_file=file_name, -N file_name The name of the error name file. The default is mysqld_ername.h. o --out_dir=path, -D path The name of the output base directory. The default is ../sql/share/. o --out_file=file_name, -O file_name The name of the output file. The default is errmsg.sys. o --statefile=file_name, -S file_name The name for the SQLSTATE header file. The default is sql_state.h. o --version, -V Display version information and exit. COPYRIGHT
