NAME
findstr — find strings for inclusion in message catalogs
DESCRIPTION
findstr
examines files of C source code for uncommented string constants
which it places, along with the surrounding quotes,
on the standard output, preceding each by the file name,
start position, and length.
This information is used by
insertmsg
(see
insertmsg(1)).
findstr
does not output strings that are parameters of the
catgets()
routine (see
catgets(3C)).
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_CTYPE
determines the interpretation of comments and string
literals as single- and/or multi-byte characters.
LC_MESSAGES
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If
LC_CTYPE
or
LC_MESSAGES
is not specified in the environment or is set to
the empty string, the value of
LANG
is used as a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If
LANG
is not specified or is
set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see
lang(5))
is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
findstr
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".
See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
WARNINGS
findstr
outputs initialization strings of static string variables.
Calling
insertmsg
with these strings causes their replacement with a call to
catgets()
(see
catgets(3C)).
Since the initializer must be a string,
this assignment results in an invalid C declaration.
For example, the following line:
static char *x[] = "message"
is modified by
insertmsg
(see
insertmsg(1))
to:
static char *x[] = (catgets(catd,NL_SETN,1,"message"))
These strings should be manually removed from
findstr
output before being input to
insertmsg.
findstr
will not be provided in future HP-UX releases.
