NAME

comp_err - compile MySQL error message file

SYNOPSIS

comp_err [options]

DESCRIPTION

comp_err

creates the errmsg.sys file that is used by mysqld to determine the error messages to display for different error codes. comp_err normally is run automatically when MySQL is built. It compiles the errmsg.sys file from the plaintext file located at sql/share/errmsg.txt in MySQL source distributions.

comp_err also generates mysqld_error.h, mysqld_ername.h, and sql_state.h header files.

For more information about how error messages are defined, see the MySQL Internals Manual.

Invoke comp_err like this:

shell> comp_err [options]

*: --help, -?

The character set directory. The default is ../sql/share/charsets.
