+.Sh NAME
+.Nm xstr
+.Nd "extract strings from C programs to implement shared strings"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm xstr
+.Op Fl c
+.Op Fl 
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Xstr
+maintains a file
+.Pa strings
+into which strings in component parts of a large program are hashed.
+These strings are replaced with references to this common area.
+This serves to implement shared constant strings, most useful if they
+are also read-only.
+.Pp
+Available options:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl
+.Nm Xstr
+reads from the standard input.
+.It Fl c
+.Nm Xstr
+will extract the strings from the C source
+.Ar file
+or the standard input
+.Pq Fl ,
+replacing
+string references by expressions of the form (&xstr[number])
+for some number.
+An appropriate declaration of
+.Nm xstr
+is prepended to the file.
+The resulting C text is placed in the file
+.Pa x.c ,
+to then be compiled.
+The strings from this file are placed in the
+.Pa strings
+data base if they are not there already.
+Repeated strings and strings which are suffixes of existing strings
+do not cause changes to the data base.
+.El
+.Pp
+After all components of a large program have been compiled a file
+.Pa xs.c
+declaring the common
+.Nm xstr
+space can be created by a command of the form
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+xstr
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The file
+.Pa xs.c
+should then be compiled and loaded with the rest
+of the program.
+If possible, the array can be made read-only (shared) saving
+space and swap overhead.
+.Pp
+.Nm Xstr
+can also be used on a single file.
+A command
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+xstr name
+.Ed
+.Pp
+creates files
+.Pa x.c
+and
+.Pa xs.c
+as before, without using or affecting any
+.Pa strings
+file in the same directory.
+.Pp
+It may be useful to run
+.Nm xstr
+after the C preprocessor if any macro definitions yield strings
+or if there is conditional code which contains strings
+which may not, in fact, be needed.
+An appropriate command sequence for running
+.Nm xstr
+after the C preprocessor is:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+cc \-E name.c | xstr \-c \-
+cc \-c x.c
+mv x.o name.o
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Nm Xstr
+does not touch the file
+.Pa strings
+unless new items are added, thus
+.Xr make 1
+can avoid remaking
+.Pa xs.o
+unless truly necessary.
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /tmp/xsxx* -compact
+.It Pa strings
+Data base of strings
+.It Pa x.c
+Massaged C source
+.It Pa xs.c
+C source for definition of array `xstr'
+.It Pa /tmp/xs*
+Temp file when `xstr name' doesn't touch
+.Pa strings
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mkstr 1
+.Sh BUGS
+If a string is a suffix of another string in the data base,
+but the shorter string is seen first by
+.Nm xstr
+both strings will be placed in the data base, when just
+placing the longer one there will do.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 3.0 .
