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 internationalization.

       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.
