SYNOPSIS
       stringlist

DESCRIPTION
       examines	 the  file  stringlist,	 which	is assumed to be the output of
       after subsequent editing to remove any strings that do not need	to  be
       localized  (see	findstr(1)).   If  the option is specified, places the
       following lines at the beginning of each file named in stringlist:

       where number is a set number defined by the option; the default is  For
       each  string  in	 stringlist, surrounds the string in the corresponding
       file with an expression of the form:

       The default string is the original string referenced  by	 the  line  in
       stringlist,  and	 msg_num is replaced by the message number assigned to
       that string.  The  assigned  message  numbers  begin  with  the	number
       defined	by the option and are incremented by the amount defined by the
       option.	The default is for both the starting message  number  and  the
       increment.   If	is  the	 file  to be modified, as specified within the
       stringlist file, insertmsg places the modified source in The user  must
       then manually edit the file to insert the following statements:

       The data type is defined in and is a parameter to the calls to catgets,
       which are inserted for each string from stringlist.

       also sends to the standard output a file that can be used as  input  to
       (see gencat(1)).

       string, the value of is used as a default for each unspecified or empty
       variable.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default
       of  "C"	(see  lang(5))	is used instead of If any internationalization
       variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all	international‐
       ization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

DIAGNOSTICS
       If does not find opening or closing double quotes where required in the
       strings file, it prints and aborts.  If this happens, check the strings

       altered.
