man(1)

📦 version 1.6.3.p1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so the manual name is amkmessage 💖 and the whole vibe is: it's an Aubit 4GL help file compiler 🧚. it takes your help text and bakes it into a compiled help file. iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

amkmessage helpfilename (without .msg extension)

literally just one thing to type: amkmessage followed by your help file's name. and you leave off the .msg ending because the tool already knows that part 🙈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this bad boy generates the compiled help message file, and it comes out with a .hlp extension 🦋

ngl, heads up! a lot of Informix-4GL programs are expecting the compiled help file to be called .iem instead. no stress tho, you can just rename the created .hlp file to .iem if you need it to match 💅

for the format and syntax of help files, go peek at the example file in the test/ directory. it's fully compatible with the Informix standard definition, so it's giving reliable energy ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
