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
