Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility creates a file containing error messages extracted from C source,
|
|
and restructures the same C source, to utilize the created error message
|
|
file.
|
|
The intent of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
was to reduce the size of large programs and
|
|
reduce swapping (see
|
|
.Sx BUGS
|
|
section below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility processes each of the specified files,
|
|
placing a restructured version of the input in a file whose name
|
|
consists of the specified
|
|
.Ar prefix
|
|
and the original name.
|
|
A typical usage of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "mkstr pistrings xx *.c"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This command causes all the error messages from the C source
|
|
files in the current directory to be placed in the file
|
|
.Pa pistrings
|
|
and restructured copies of the sources to be placed in
|
|
files whose names are prefixed with
|
|
.Dq Li xx .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl
|
|
Error messages are placed at the end of the specified
|
|
message file for recompiling part of a large
|
|
.Nm Ns ed
|
|
program.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility finds error messages in the source by
|
|
searching for the string
|
|
.Sq Li error("
|
|
in the input stream.
|
|
Each time it occurs, the C string starting at the
|
|
.Ql \&"
|
|
is stored
|
|
in the message file followed by a null character and a new-line character;
|
|
The new source is restructured with
|
|
.Xr lseek 2
|
|
pointers into the error message file for retrieval.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char efilname = "/usr/lib/pi_strings";
|
|
int efil = -1;
|
|
|
|

|

{

|

|
|
efil = open(efilname, 0);
|
|
if (efil < 0)
|
|
err(1, "%s", efilname);
|
|
}
|
|
if (lseek(efil, (off_t)a1, SEEK_SET) < 0 ||
|
|
read(efil, buf, 256) <= 0)
|
|
err(1, "%s", efilname);
|
|

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility was intended for the limited architecture of the PDP 11 family.
|
|
Very few programs actually use it.
|
|
The memory savings are negligible in modern computers.
