xgettext(1)						      General Commands Manual						       xgettext(1)

NAME

       xgettext - conditionally extract strings from C programs

SYNOPSIS

       xgettext -d [ cmnopvhP ] [ -odirectory-prefix ] [ -xexclude-list ] [ filename ...  ]
       xgettext [ -amopvhP ] [ -xexclude-list ] [ filename ...	]

DESCRIPTION

       xgettext is used to automate the creation of portable message files.  A portable message file contains copies of "C" strings that are found
       in "C" source code in filename.	When the -d option is specified, xgettext places the extracted strings	in  the  file  name.po.   name	is
       either  the  domain specified in a dgettext call, or messages.po for strings extracted from gettext and textdomain calls. If the -d flag is
       not specified, xgettext places all the strings in messages.po.  The portable message file can be used as input to  the  msgfmt(1)  utility,
       which will produce a binary form of the message file than can be used at application run-time.

OPTIONS

       -a	 Extract ALL strings, not just those found in gettext, dgettext, and textdomain calls.

       -cflag	 Comments beginning with flag filename on the first line of the comment are added to file filename as # delimited comments.

       -d	 Produce  duplicates.  Does  not  sort output when writing the portable message file and will not overwrite existing output files.
		 Places output from each domain specified in a dgettext call into a separate file named for the domain, ie.  name.po

       -cflag	 Comments beginning with flag filename on the first line of the comment are added to file filename as # delimited comments.

       -mstring  Causes xgettext to fill in the msgstr line of the portable message files it produces.	 xgettext  uses  the  corresponding  msgid
		 string extracted from the "C" file, appending string.	Useful for debugging purposes.

       -n	 Add  # delimited line number comments to output file indicating the line number in the source file where each extracted string is
		 encountered.

       -ofilename
		 rename the default output file from messages.po to filename.

       -ppathname
		 Specify the directory where the output files will be placed.  This option overrides the current working directory.

       -xfilename
		 Specify a file that contains a list of strings that are not be extracted from the input files.  Each string to be  excluded  must
		 appear on a line by itself in the file filename.

       -P	 include strings in pre-processor statements.

       -v	 Verbose mode.

       -h	 Print a help message on standard output.

FILES

       messages.po   is always created, but may be empty.

SEE ALSO

       msgfmt(1), xstr(1), gettext, dgettext, textdomain(3).
