runcat(1)
NAME
  runcat - Pipes message text source from mkcatdefs to gencat

SYNOPSIS
  runcat catalog_name source_file [catalogfile]

DESCRIPTION
  The runcat command invokes the mkcatdefs command and pipes the message
  catalog source data (the output from mkcatdefs) to the gencat program.

  The file source_file contains the message text with your symbolic
  identifiers. The mkcatdefs program uses the catalog_name argument to
  generate the name of the symbolic definition file by adding _msg.h to the
  end of the catalog_name value, and to generate the symbolic name for the
  catalog file by adding MF_ to the beginning of the catalog_name value. The
  definition file must be included in your application program. The symbolic
  name for the catalog file can be used in the library functions (such as the
  catopen function).

  The catalogfile argument is the name of the catalog file created by the
  gencat command. If you do not specify this argument, the gencat command
  names the catalog file by adding .cat to the end of the catalog_name value.
  This filename can also be used in the catopen library function.

EXAMPLES
  To generate a catalog named test.cat from the message source file test.msg,
  enter:

       runcat test test.msg
