-.Sh NAME
-.Nm compile_et
-.Nd error table compiler
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm compile_et
-.Ar file
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm Compile_et
-converts a table listing error-code names and associated messages into
-a C source file suitable for use with the
-.Xr com_err 3
-library.
-.Pp
-The source file name must end with a suffix of ``.et''; the file
-consists of a declaration supplying the name (up to four characters
-long) of the error-code table:
-
-.Em error_table name
-
-followed by up to 256 entries of the form:
-
-.Em error_code name ,
-"
-.Em string
-"
-
-and a final
-
-.Em end
-
-to indicate the end of the table.
-.Pp
-The name of the table is used to construct the name of a subroutine
-.Em initialize_XXXX_error_table
-which must be called in order for the
-.Xr com_err 3
-library to recognize the error table.
-.Pp
-The various error codes defined are assigned sequentially increasing
-numbers (starting with a large number computed as a hash function of
-the name of the table); thus for compatibility it is suggested that
-new codes be added only to the end of an existing table, and that no
-codes be removed from tables.
-.Pp
-The names defined in the table are placed into a C header file with
-preprocessor directives defining them as integer constants of up to
-32 bits in magnitude.
-.Pp
-A C source file is also generated which should be compiled and linked
-with the object files which reference these error codes; it contains
-the text of the messages and the initialization subroutine.  Both C
-files have names derived from that of the original source file, with
-the ``.et'' suffix replaced by ``.c'' and ``.h''.
-.Pp
-A ``#'' in the source file is treated as a comment character, and all
-remaining text to the end of the source line will be ignored.
-.Sh BUGS
-Since
-.Nm compile_et
-uses a very simple parser based on
-.Xr yacc 1 ,
-its error recovery leaves much to be desired.
