findstr(CP)
findstr --
find strings in C source code
Syntax
findstr [-b] file ...
findstr [-b] -p [cpp_option] file ...
Description
findstr examines files of C source code for string
constants, which are written on standard output (one per line in
the form of a string list):
filename pos len "...message text..."
where filename is the name of the C source file,
pos is the character position of the message within
the source file and len is the message length in bytes.
findstr(CP)
assumes a syntactically correct C preprocessed source input file.
In the case of C preprocess request (that is, with the
-p option), a preprocessed,
.i-suffixed file is first created in the C
source file directory before the the string list is generated.
findstr recognizes the following options:
-b-
Source file directory name truncation within the string
file.
-p cpp_option-
Preprocess source file before performing find.
Arguments following -p are interpreted as
cpp(CP)
options.
Return values
0-
on success
1-
on failure
Notes
The output from
findstr(CP)
is normally used by
insertmsg(CP)
to create a new source file with message catalogue information.
