NAME
compile_et - tool for generating com_err error tables
SYNOPSIS
compile_et [ --base table_base ] [ --etout out_dir ] [ --stringsout
out_strings_dir ] error_table
DESCRIPTION
compile_et is a tool to produce com_err style error code to string map-
pings for use with the com_err error_message() API.
compile_et takes the com_err error table file error_table and generates
a com_err source and header file for use with add_error_table() and
remove_error_table(). It also generates an optional strings file for
use with bundled applications. If the contents of the strings file are
added to Localizable.strings, then the application does not need to use
add_error_table() and remove_error_table().
compile_et is intended to be used by the Kerberos implementation and
third party plugins (eg: KLLoginLogoutNotification and KLPrincipal-
Translation plugins).
OPTIONS
--etout out_dir
output source, header and strings files to the directory
out_dir. By default compile_et places files in the current
working directory.
--stringsout out_strings_dir
output the strings file to the directory out_strings_dir. By
default compile_et places the strings file in out_dir (if it is
specified) or the current working directory.
--base table_base
use table_base as the error table base name. This is a four
character code which identifies the error table in the error ta-
ble database.

BUGS
Currently compile_et has no support for generating strings files for
multiple localizations. Strings files must be manually localized.
