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[1].

       Invoke comp_err like this:

           shell> comp_err [options]

       comp_err supports the following options.

       •   --help, -?

       •   --debug=debug_options, -# debug_options

           Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is d:t:O,file_name. The default
