\fBcomp_err [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBcomp_err\fR
creates the
\fIerrmsg.sys\fR
file that is used by
\fBmysqld\fR
to determine the error messages to display for different error codes.
\fBcomp_err\fR
normally is run automatically when MySQL is built. It compiles the
\fIerrmsg.sys\fR
file from the plaintext file located at
\fIsql/share/errmsg.txt\fR
in MySQL source distributions.
.PP
\fBcomp_err\fR
also generates
\fImysqld_error.h\fR,
\fImysqld_ername.h\fR, and
\fIsql_state.h\fR
header files.
.PP
For more information about how error messages are defined, see the MySQL Internals Manual.
