COMP_ERR(1)           MySQL Database System           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 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.
