    NAME

    fmtmsg - display a message on stderr or system console
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    fmtmsg [-c class] [-u subclass] [-l label] [-s severity] 
        [-t tag] [-a action] text
    

     

    DESCRIPTION

    Based on a message's classification component, the fmtmsg utility either writes a formatted message to stderr or writes a formatted message to the console.

    A formatted message consists of up to five standard components (see environment variable MSGVERB in the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section of this page). The classification and subclass components are not displayed as part of the standard message, but rather define the source of the message and direct the display of the formatted message.  

    OPTIONS

    The following options are supported:

    -c class

    Describes the source of the message. Valid keywords are:

    hard

    The source of the condition is hardware.

    soft

    The source of the condition is software.

    firm

    The source of the condition is firmware.

    -u subclass

    A list of keywords (separated by commas) that further defines the message and directs the display of the message. Valid keywords are:

    appl

    The condition originated in an application. This keyword should not be used in combination with either util or opsys.

    util

    The condition originated in a utility. This keyword should not be used in combination with either appl or opsys.

    opsys

    The message originated in the kernel. This keyword should not be used in combination with either appl or util.

    recov

    The application will recover from the condition. This keyword should not be used in combination with nrecov.

    nrecov

    The application will not recover from the condition. This keyword should not be used in combination with recov.

    print

    Print the message to the standard error stream stderr.

    console

    Write the message to the system console. print, console, or both may be used.

    -l label

    Identifies the source of the message.

    -s severity

    Indicates the seriousness of the error. The keywords and definitions of the standard levels of severity are:

    halt

    The application has encountered a severe fault and is halting.

    error

    The application has detected a fault.

    warn

    The application has detected a condition that is out of the ordinary and might be a problem.

    info

    The application is providing information about a condition that is not in error.

    -t tag

    The string containing an identifier for the message.

    -a action

    A text string describing the first step in the error recovery process. This string must be written so that the entire action argument is interpreted as a single argument. fmtmsg precedes each action string with the TO FIX: prefix.

    text

    A text string describing the condition. Must be written so that the entire text argument is interpreted as a single argument.

     

    EXAMPLES

    Example 1 Standard message format

    The following example of fmtmsg produces a complete message in the standard message format and displays it to the standard error stream.

    example% fmtmsg -c soft -u recov,print,appl -l UX:cat \
        -s error -t UX:cat:001 -a "refer to manual" "invalid syntax"
    

    produces:

    UX:cat: ERROR: invalid syntax 
    TO FIX: refer to manual   UX:cat:138
    

    Example 2 Using MSGVERB

    When the environment variable MSGVERB is set as follows:

    MSGVERB=severity:text:action
    

    and Example 1 is used, fmtmsg produces:

    ERROR: invalid syntax 
    TO FIX: refer to manual
    

    Example 3 Using SEV_LEVEL

    When the environment variable SEV_LEVEL is set as follows:

    SEV_LEVEL=note,5,NOTE
    

    the following fmtmsg command:

    example% fmtmsg -c soft -u print -l UX:cat -s note \
        -a "refer to manual" "invalid syntax"
    

    produces:

    NOTE: invalid syntax
    TO FIX: refer to manual
    

    and displays the message on stderr.

     

    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

    The environment variables MSGVERB and SEV_LEVEL control the behavior of fmtmsg. MSGVERB is set by the administrator in the /etc/profile for the system. Users can override the value of MSGVERB set by the system by resetting MSGVERB in their own .profile files or by changing the value in their current shell session. SEV_LEVEL can be used in shell scripts.

    MSGVERB tells fmtmsg which message components to select when writing messages to stderr. The value of MSGVERB is a colon-separated list of optional keywords. MSGVERB can be set as follows:

    MSGVERB=[keyword[:keyword[:...]]]
    export MSGVERB
    

    Valid keywords are: label, severity, text, action, and tag. If MSGVERB contains a keyword for a component and the component's value is not the component's null value, fmtmsg includes that component in the message when writing the message to stderr. If MSGVERB does not include a keyword for a message component, that component is not included in the display of the message. The keywords may appear in any order. If MSGVERB is not defined, if its value is the null string, if its value is not of the correct format, or if it contains keywords other than the valid ones listed above, fmtmsg selects all components.

    MSGVERB affects only which message components are selected for display. All message components are included in console messages.

    SEV_LEVEL defines severity levels and associates print strings with them for use by fmtmsg. The standard severity levels shown below cannot be modified. Additional severity levels can be defined, redefined, and removed.

    0

    (no severity is used)

    1

    HALT

    2

    ERROR

    3

    WARNING

    4

    INFO

    SEV_LEVEL is set as follows:

    description is a comma-separated list containing three fields:

    SEV_LEVEL=   [description[:description[:...]]]
    export SEV_LEVEL
    

    description=severity_keyword, level, printstring

    severity_keyword is a character string used as the keyword with the -s severity option to fmtmsg.

    level is a character string that evaluates to a positive integer (other than 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, which are reserved for the standard severity levels). If the keyword severity_keyword is used, level is the severity value passed on to fmtmsg(3C).

    printstring is the character string used by fmtmsg in the standard message format whenever the severity value level is used.

    If SEV_LEVEL is not defined, or if its value is null, no severity levels other than the defaults are available. If a description in the colon separated list is not a comma separated list containing three fields, or if the second field of a comma separated list does not evaluate to a positive integer, that description in the colon separated list is ignored.  

    EXIT STATUS

    The following exit values are returned:

    0

    All the requested functions were executed successfully.

    1

    The command contains a syntax error, an invalid option, or an invalid argument to an option.

    2

    The function executed with partial success, however the message was not displayed on stderr.

    4

    The function executed with partial success; however, the message was not displayed on the system console.

    32

    No requested functions were executed successfully.
