NAME

ﬁndstr - ﬁnd strings for inclusion in message catalogs

SYNOPSIS

findstr ﬁle ...

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 char-

acters.

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.
