User Commands mkmsgs(1)
NAME
mkmsgs - create message files for use by gettxt
SYNOPSIS
mkmsgs [-o] [-i locale] inputstrings msgfile
DESCRIPTION
The mkmsgs utility is used to create a file of text strings
that can be accessed using the text retrieval tools (see
gettxt(1), srchtxt(1), exstr(1), and gettxt(3C)). It will
take as input a file of text strings for a particular geo-
graphic locale (see setlocale(3C)) and create a file of text
strings in a format that can be retrieved by both gettxt(1)
and gettxt(3C). By using the -i option, you can install the
created file under the /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES
directory (locale corresponds to the language in which the
text strings are written).
inputstrings is the name of the file that contains the ori-
ginal text strings. msgfile is the name of the output file
where mkmsgs writes the strings in a format that is readable
by gettxt(1) and gettxt(3C). The name of msgfile can be up
to 14 characters in length, but may not contain either \0
(null) or the ASCII code for / (slash) or : (colon).
The input file contains a set of text strings for the par-
ticular geographic locale. Text strings are separated by a
newline character. Nongraphic characters must be represented
as alphabetic escape sequences. Messages are transformed and
copied sequentially from inputstrings to msgfile. To gen-
erate an empty message in msgfile, leave an empty line at
the correct place in inputstrings.
Strings can be changed simply by editing the file input-
strings. New strings must be added only at the end of the
file; then a new msgfile file must be created and installed
in the correct place. If this procedure is not followed, the
retrieval function will retrieve the wrong string and
software compatibility will be broken.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-o Overwrite msgfile, if it exists.
-i locale Install msgfile in the
/usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES direc-
tory. Only someone who is super user or a
member of group bin can create or overwrite
files in this directory. Directories under

User Commands mkmsgs(1)
/usr/lib/locale will be created if they do
not exist.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the mkmsgs command.
The following example shows an input message source file
C.str:
File %s:\t cannot be opened\n
%s: Bad directory\n
.
.
.
write error\n
.
.
Example 2: Using Input Strings From C.str to Create Text
Strings in a File
The following command uses the input strings from C.str to
create text strings in the appropriate format in the file UX
in the current directory:
example% mkmsgs C.str UX
Example 3: Using Input Strings From FR.str to Create Text
Strings in a File
The following command uses the input strings from FR.str to
create text strings in the appropriate format in the file UX
in the directory /usr/lib/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES:
example% mkmsgs -i fr FR.str UX
These text strings would be accessed if you had set the
environment variable LC_MESSAGES=fr
and then invoked one of the text retrieval tools listed at
the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section.
