Overview
The makestrs command creates string table C source files and headers. If -f source is not specified makestrs will read from stdin. The C source file is always written to stdout. makestrs creates one or more C header files as specified in the source file. The following options may be specified: -sparcabi, -intelabi, -functionabi, -arrayperabi, and -defaultabi.
-sparcabi is used on SPARC platforms conforming to the SPARC Compliance Definition, i.e. SVR4/Solaris.
-intelabi is used on Intel platforms conforming to the System V Application Binary Interface, i.e. SVR4.
-earlyR6abi may be used in addition to -intelabi for situations where the vendor wishes to maintain binary compatibility between X11R6 public-patch 11 (and earlier) and X11R6 public-patch 12 (and later).
-functionabi generates a functional abi to the string table. This mechanism imposes a severe performance penalty and it's recommended that you not use it.
-arrayperabi results in a separate array for each string. This is the default behavior if makestrs was compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR (it almost never is).
-defaultabi forces the generation of the "normal" string table even if makestrs was compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR. Since makestrs is almost never compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR this is the default behavior if no abioptions are specified.
-i includedir forces the reading of templates from the includedir instead of the local directory. This is useful to have separate source and build directories.
