dspcat(1)
NAME
  dspcat - Displays all or part of a message catalog

SYNOPSIS
  dspcat [-g] catalog_name [set_number[message_number]]

OPTIONS
  -g  Formats the output so that it can be used as input to the gencat
      command.	You cannot use the message_number argument with the -g
      option.

OPERANDS
  catalog_name
      Specifies a file containing a message catalog. If the file is not in
      the current directory, dspcat searches for it in the set of directories
      specified by the NLSPATH environment variable.  (For more information
      about NLSPATH, see catopen(3).)

  set_number
      Specifies a set in the catalog.

  message_number
      Specifies a particular number in the specified set.

DESCRIPTION
  The dspcat command, part of the DIGITAL UNIX Message Facility, displays a
  particular message, all of the messages in a set, or all of the messages in
  a catalog.

  If you include all three command operands, dspcat displays a particular
  message. If you do not include message_number, all the messages in the
  specified set are displayed.	If you specify only catalog_name, all the
  messages in the catalog are displayed. If you specify either an invalid
  message_number or invalid set_number, an error message is displayed. You
  must include set_number if you include message_number.

EXAMPLES
  To display message number 2 in set number 1 of test.cat, enter:

       dspcat test.cat 1 2
