The conventions used in naming files with user messages are discussed here. Usually, the message source file has the suffix .msg; the generated message catalog has the suffix .cat. There may be other such files related to messages. The following criteria must be met for a file to have these suffixes:

  • It is X/Open-compliant.

  • It becomes a *.cat file through the use of the gencat command.
