SYNOPSIS
mkerrlst [ -i inputfile ] [ -o outputfile ]
DESCRIPTION
Mkerrlst(1) creates error message files in the format described by syserrlst(5).
With no arguments mkerrlst creates the file /etc/syserrlst from the internal array sys_errlist.
Give just the -o option mkerrlst will create the file outputfile from the internal array sys_errlist.
Given just the -i option mkerrlst will create the file /etc/syserrlst from the input file inputfile.
Given both -i and -o options mkerrlst will create the error message file outputfile from the strings contained in inputfile.
NOTE: error messages are numbered from 0. If the error 0 does not have a message associated with it the first string in inputfile must
still be present.
RETURN VALUE
mkerrlst exits with status of 0 if no errors are encountered. If errors do occur an error message is printed on stderr and the exit status
is 1.
