.SH NAME
mk_cmds \- error table compiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mk_cmds
file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Mk_cmds
converts a table listing command names and associated help messages
into a C source file suitable for use with the
.IR ss (3)
library.
The source file name must end with a suffix of ``.ct''; the file
consists of a declaration supplying the name of the command table:
.B command_table
.I name
followed by entries of the form:
[
.B request
|
.B unimplemented
]
.I name,
"
.I string
"[, abbrev]...;
and a final
.B end
to indicate the end of the table.
A C source file is generated which should be compiled and linked
with the object files use the ss library.
A ``#'' in the source file is treated as a comment character, and all
remaining text to the end of the source line will be ignored.
.SH BUGS
Since the original
.B mk_cmds
uses a very simple parser based on
.IR yacc (1),
and this current version of
.B mk_cmds
uses an awk/sed combination of scripts,
its error recovery leaves much to be desired.
