runcat - Pipe output from mkcatdefs to gencat
Format
runcat CatalogName SourceFile [CatalogFile]
Description
runcat invokes the mkcatdefs command and pipes the message catalog source data (the output from mkcatdefs) to the gencat utility.
The file specified by the SourceFile parameter contains the message
text with your symbolic identifiers. The mkcatdefs program uses the
CatalogName parameter to generate the name of the symbolic definition file
by adding .h to the end of the CatalogName value, and to
generate the symbolic name for the catalog file by adding MF_ to the beginning of
the CatalogName 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 subroutine). SourceFile
cannot be stdin.
The CatalogFile parameter is the name of the catalog file created
by the gencat command. If you do not specify this parameter, the gencat command names the catalog file by adding .cat to the
end of the CatalogName value. This filename can also be used in the catopen subroutine.
