Description

The {msgID} is one of the two forms of identification that comes with each online error message. The primary form is {CLASS}nnn, where {CLASS} is the class of messages, such as CGEN, TSM, and nnn is the index of the message within the class of messages. The second form, which is available with most messages, is the mnemonic form (for example, CGEN_NOMSGQ or CGEN_MSGRCV.

If the explanation of the message fits in 24 lines and only a single explanation is requested, it is printed without interruption. If the explanation is longer than 24 lines or more than one explanation is requested, the output is paged via the use of a paging program. Use the -doption to disable paging. The default paging program is /bin/pg.

If the -loption is used, explain looks up all messages whose {msgID} matches the pattern. For example, explain -l A V lists the names of explanations available that begin with either “A” or “V,” while explain -l VROP lists all explanation names available that begin with VROP. In other words, the {pattern} is anchored at the beginning of the {msgID} and assumes a match of anything after the pattern selected.

The explain command is also affected by certain environment variables. These environment variables are intended for advanced users only.
