SHCOMP(1) User Commands SHCOMP(1)
NAME
shcomp - compile a ksh93 shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [
-nv] [
infile [
outfile]]
shcomp -D [
infile [
outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
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.
OPERANDS
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.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
