    MKERRLST(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	      MKERRLST(1)

    NAME
         mkerrlst - create system error file

    SYNOPSIS
         mkerrlst [ -i inputfile ] [ -o outputfile ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Mkerrlst(1) creates error message files in the format
         described by syserrlst(5).

         With no arguments mkerrlst creates the file /etc/syserrlst
         from the internal array sys_errlist.

         Give just the -o option mkerrlst will create the file out-
         putfile from the internal array sys_errlist.

         Given just the -i option mkerrlst will create the file
         /etc/syserrlst from the input file inputfile.

         Given both -i and -o options mkerrlst will create the error
         message file outputfile from the strings contained in input-
         file.

         NOTE: error messages are numbered from 0.	If the error 0
         does not have a message associated with it the first string
         in inputfile must still be present.

    RETURN VALUE
         mkerrlst exits with status of 0 if no errors are encoun-
         tered.  If errors do occur an error message is printed on
         stderr and the exit status is 1.

    ERRORS
         mkerrlst(1) can encounter any of the errors for the open(2),
         lseek(2), read(2), or write(2) system calls.
