Creating the Message File from the Text File
To convert the text file into a message file, use the snapmsgf program as
follows:
snapmsgf infile outfile
The name of the input text file is infile , including a path if it is not in
the current directory.
The name of the output message file is outfile , as specified by the
msg_file_name parameter on LOG_MESSAGE. The output file must
have a name consisting of 1–3 characters with the extension .msg; you
need not specify the extension on the command line.
The output file is created in the current directory. It must be stored in
the directory /opt in order for SNAplus2 to find it when it is specified by
a LOG_MESSAGE verb.
For example, the following command creates the message file new.msg
from the source text file /usr/fred/myfile.text:
snapmsgf /usr/fred/myfile.text new
The snapmsgf program writes error messages to standard error if it
detects errors in the input file format.
