NAME

       findstr - find strings for inclusion in message catalogs

SYNOPSIS

       file ...

DESCRIPTION

       examines  files	of C source code for uncommented string constants which it places, along with the surrounding quotes, on the standard out-
       put, preceding each by the file name, start position, and length.  This information is used by (see insertmsg(1)).  does not output strings
       that are parameters of the routine (see catgets(3C)).

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the interpretation of comments and string literals as single- and/or multi-byte characters.

       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       If  or  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
       variable.  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 multi-byte character code sets are supported.

WARNINGS

       outputs	initialization	strings  of static string variables.  Calling with these strings causes their replacement with a call to (see cat-
       gets(3C)).  Since the initializer must be a string, this assignment results in an invalid C declaration.  For example, the following line:

       is modified by (see insertmsg(1)) to:

       These strings should be manually removed from output before being input to

       will not be provided in future HP-UX releases.
