findmsg(1) General Commands Manual findmsg(1) NAME
findmsg, dumpmsg - create message catalog file for modification SYNOPSIS
sym] sym]] file ... file ... DESCRIPTION
The command extracts messages from a C program source file and writes them to the standard output in a format suitable for input to (see gencat(1)). The input file will be preprocessed using (see cpp(1)) in order to select print specifiers and handle conditional primitives. If multiple input files are specified and the option is not used, the files are processed sequentially such that message catalog comment lines identifying the input file are written before the output for each input file. The command scans the source files for uncommented lines with one of the following three formats embedded within it: or any combination of these formats wholly contained on a single physical line. could be a string constant or a combination of string con- stants and print specifiers (PRI*). Any number of spaces or tabs can separate the comment from the message. The digit n, which can be any valid message number (see gencat(1)), is combined with the message string to produce a message catalog source line. The message source line is assigned to the set whose number is the current value of as set by the last directive encountered. If has not yet been defined when a message line is found, the message is output without a set number specification. If more than one message is found belonging to the same set and message number, the last message found is output; any others are silently discarded. Conditional compilation and instructions in the C source files are ignored. Options recognizes the following command-line options: Merge identically numbered sets from multiple input files so that can process the output. Define symbol sym. Cause symbol sym to be undefined. Consider all #ifdefs to extract messages from the input file. Options and will be used to select print specifiers if this option is not used.

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 (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, and behave as if all internationalization variables are set to See environ(5).
