NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       runcat  - Pipes message text source from mkcatdefs to gencat

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       runcat catalog_name source_file [catalogfile]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The runcat command invokes the mkcatdefs command and pipes
       the  message  catalog  source data (the output from mkcatdefs)
 to the gencat program.

       The file source_file contains the message text  with  your
       symbolic identifiers. The mkcatdefs program uses the catalog_name
 argument to generate the  name  of  the  symbolic
       definition  file  by adding _msg.h to the end of the catalog_name
 value, and to generate the symbolic name for  the
       catalog  file  by adding MF_ to the beginning of the catalog_name
 value. The definition file must  be  included  in
       your  application program. The symbolic name for the catalog
 file can be used in the library functions (such as the
       catopen function).

       The  catalogfile  argument is the name of the catalog file
       created by the gencat command. If you do not specify  this
       argument,  the  gencat  command  names the catalog file by
       adding to the end of the catalog_name value. This filename
       can also be used in the catopen library function.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To  generate  a  catalog  named  test.cat from the message
       source file test.msg, enter: runcat test test.msg
