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.

       Invoke comp_err like this:

          shell> comp_err [options]
