Every aspect of it? It's really pretty rare that every aspect of a command is Committed. It'd be kind of stupid, but is it really a Committed interface that rpcgen's generated output never uses "syslog" as a local variable? (Actually, that'd probably be OK, since your redefinition would probably be just as good. Finding a fatal case is left as an exercise for the reader.) Where are % lines emitted in the output? Is it before the bulk of the generated code? I don't find it in the man page, but I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it's explicitly unspecified. If I thought that the exact form of the generated code was Committed, I could just postprocess it with sed to remove _msgout or replace the calls to it, but I don't think that would be wise. --- Foo. % lines are emitted for all types of output files. Putting "#define syslog mylog" into the generated *.h file would be a really bad idea. My "#define _msgout mylog" would be better, but still wouldn't be good. Back to the drawing board. Hmm. Maybe sed 's/syslog(/mylog(/'. Bleah.
