msgcmp

MSGCMP(1)								GNU								 MSGCMP(1)

NAME

       msgcmp - compare message catalog and template

SYNOPSIS

       msgcmp [OPTION] def.po ref.pot

DESCRIPTION

       Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings.  The def.po file is an existing PO file with
       the translations.  The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext).	This is useful for
       checking  that you have translated each and every message in your program.  Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to
       produce better diagnostics.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

   Input file location:
       def.po translations

       ref.pot
	      references to the sources

       -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
	      add DIRECTORY to list for input files search

   Operation modifiers:
       -m, --multi-domain
	      apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po

       -N, --no-fuzzy-matching
	      do not use fuzzy matching

       --use-fuzzy
	      consider fuzzy entries

       --use-untranslated
	      consider untranslated entries

   Input file syntax:
       -P, --properties-input
	      input files are in Java .properties syntax

       --stringtable-input
	      input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax

   Informative output:
       -h, --help
	      display this help and exit

       -V, --version
	      output version information and exit
