COMP_ERR(1) MySQL Database System COMP_ERR(1) NAME comp_err - compile MySQL error message file SYNOPSIS comp_err [options] DESCRIPTION comp_err creates the errmsg.sys file that is used by mysqld to determine the error messages to display for different error codes. comp_err normally is run automatically when MySQL is built. It compiles the errmsg.sys file from the plaintext file located at sql/share/errmsg.txt in MySQL source distributions. comp_err also generates mysqld_error.h, mysqld_ername.h, and sql_state.h header files. For more information about how error messages are defined, see the MySQL Internals Manual.
