COMP_ERR(1)

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 text 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]

    • --help, -?
