NAME
shcomp93 - compile a ksh93 shell script

SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile] [outfile]]

ORIGIN OF THIS MAN PAGE
This man page was written by Christophe Martin <Schplurtz AT free.fr> for the Debian
GNU/Linux system. It is based on "shcomp --man" output.

DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format
file, outfile, that ksh93 can read and execute with the same effect as the original
script.

Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires
variable expansion will not work correctly.

If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are
the messages that need to be translated to locale specific versions for internationaliza-
tion.

If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is
also omitted, the shell script will be read from standard input.

OPTIONS
-D, --dictionary
Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for interna-
tionalization.

-n, --noexec
Displays warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs.

-v, --verbose
Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.

--man Displays this man page on standard error and exits.

--help Shows a short help message and exits.

EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.

>0 An error occurred.
