AFS_COMPILE_ET(1) AFS Command Reference AFS_COMPILE_ET(1)NAME
afs_compile_et - Produce error text tables for compilation
SYNOPSIS
afs_compile_et [-debug] [-language <lang>]
[-prefix <prefix>] [-v <version>] <error_table>
DESCRIPTION
The afs_compile_et command builds the error text tables for compilation. This includes both a header file that contains a set of mappings
between error names and values and a .c (or .msf) file that provides a text table of descriptions.
The <error_table> argument specifies which error table to generate. The error table specification should exist in the current working
directory or in the directory specified with -prefix and should be named error_table.et.
CAUTIONS
This command is used internally within the build process for OpenAFS. Most users will access this information via translate_et(1) rather
than via afs_compile_et.
This command does not use the standard AFS command-line parsing package.
OPTIONS -debug
Does nothing. It neither adds debugging information to the output nor provides additional information on its operation.
-language <lang>
Specifies the type of output to generate. Currently, only ANSI C and K&R are supported values (via the c and k&r-c values,
respectively). The default is ANSI C. There is some support for C++ started, but that is not yet supported.
-prefix <prefix
Specifies the directory to search for the error_table.et file.
-v <version>
Specified the type of output file: valid values are 1 (the default, for C files) or 2, for .msf file generation.
EXAMPLES
The following command generates the files pterror.h and pterror.c, suitable for use with C programs:
% afs_compile_et -p path/to/src/ptserver pterror
The following command generates K&R style files instead:
% afs_compile_et -p path/to/src/ptserver -lang 'k&r-c' pterror
