NAME
       mk_cmds - error table compiler

SYNOPSIS
       mk_cmds file

DESCRIPTION
       Mk_cmds converts	a table	listing	command	names and associated help mes-
       sages into a C source file suitable for use with	the ss(3) library.

       The  source  file name must end with a suffix of	``.ct''; the file con-
       sists of	a declaration supplying	the name of the	command	table:

       command_table name

       followed	by entries of the form:

       [ request | unimplemented ] name, " string "[, abbrev]...;

       and a final

       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.

BUGS
       Since the original mk_cmds uses a very simple parser based on  yacc(1),
       and  this  current  version  of	mk_cmds	uses an	awk/sed	combination of
       scripts,	its error recovery leaves much to be desired.
