gencat

gencat(1int) gencat(1int)

Name
gencat - generate a formatted message catalog

Syntax
gencat catalog_file [source_file ...]

Description
The command takes one or more message source files and either creates a new catalog or merges new message text into an existing catalog.
You should use the extension for message text files (for example, ) and the extension for catalogs (for example, ) to process files with
the command.

In some cases, a formatted message catalog exists that has the same name the one that is creating. When this occurs, merges the messages
from the source message catalogs into this existing formatted message catalog. The command merges the source message catalogs into the
formatted message catalog in the same manner as it merges a group of source message catalogs. If a source message catalog contains the
same set number or message number as a set or message in the formatted message catalog, the source message catalog set or message has
precedence. For example, if both the source and formatted message catalogs contain a message number 25, the message text for message 25 in
the source message catalog replaces the message text in the formatted message catalog. Thus, when source message catalogs are merged with
formatted message catalogs, the formatted catalogs are updated.

If you do not specify a source file, the command accepts message source data from standard input.

Numeric message source files are portable between X/Open systems.

For information on the source format for messages files, see the Guide to Developing International Software.

Restrictions
The command does not accept mnemonic identifiers. You must run the command if you want to use mnemonic identifiers.
