SHCOMP(1) User Commands SHCOMP(1)
shcomp - compile a ksh93 shell script
shcomp [-nv] [infile [outfile]]
shcomp -D [infile [outfile]]
If the -D option is not specified, shcomp takes a shell script,
infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh93 reads
and executes with the same effect as the original script.
Aliases are processed as the script is read. Alias definitions whose
value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
The following options are supported:
-D
--dictionary
Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in
a message catalog for internationalization.
With this option, all double quoted strings that are
preceded by $ are printed, one literal per line. A
literal $"foo" prints "foo" in the output. These are
the messages that need to be translated to locale
specific versions for internationalization.
-n
--noexec
Display warning messages for obsolete or non-
conforming constructs.
-v
--verbose
Display input from infile onto standard error as it
reads it.
The following operands are supported:
infile
Specifies the name of the file that contains the shell
script to be used as input.
If infile is omitted, the shell script is read from
standard input.
outfile
Specifies the name of the output file.
If outfile is omitted, both modes write their results to
standard output.
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
