SHCOMP(1) General Commands Manual SHCOMP(1) NAME shcomp - compile a shell script SYNOPSIS shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]] DESCRIPTION Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with the same effect as the original script. Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly. If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to locale spe- cific versions for internationalization. If infile is a simple command name, the shell script will be searched on $PATH. It does not need execute permission to be found. If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from standard in- put. However, shcomp will not read a script from your keyboard unless in- file is given as /dev/stdin, and will refuse to write binary data to a ter- minal in any case. OPTIONS -D, --dictionary Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. -n, --noexec Displays warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. -v, --verbose Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it. EXIT STATUS 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred.
