mk_cmds(1) -- Linux man page
NAME
mk_cmds - error table compiler
SYNOPSIS
mk_cmds
file
DESCRIPTION
Mk_cmds
converts a table listing command names and associated help messages
into a C source file suitable for use with the
ss(3)
library.
The source file name must end with a suffix of ``.ct''; the file
consists of a declaration supplying the name of the command table:
command_table
name
followed by entries of the form:
[
request
|
unimplemented
]
name,
"
string
"[, abbrev]...;
and a final
end
to indicate the end of the table.
A C source file is generated which should be compiled and linked
with the object files use the ss library.
A ``#'' in the source file is treated as a comment character, and all
remaining text to the end of the source line will be ignored.
BUGS
Since the original
mk_cmds
uses a very simple parser based on
yacc(1),
and this current version of
mk_cmds
uses an awk/sed combination of scripts,
its error recovery leaves much to be desired.
