msgcat

MSGCAT(1)								GNU								 MSGCAT(1)

NAME

       msgcat - combines several message catalogs

SYNOPSIS

       msgcat [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Concatenates  and  merges  the  specified PO files.  Find messages which are common to two or more of the specified PO files.  By using the
       --more-than option, greater commonality may be requested before messages are printed.  Conversely, the --less-than option may  be  used	to
       specify less commonality before messages are printed (i.e.  --less-than=2 will only print the unique messages).	Translations, comments and
       extract comments will be cumulated, except that if --use-first is specified, they will be taken from the first  PO  file  to  define  them.
       File positions from all PO files will be cumulated.

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

   Input file location:
       INPUTFILE ...
	      input files

       -f, --files-from=FILE
	      get list of input files from FILE

       -D, --directory=DIRECTORY

       If input file is -, standard input is read.

   Output file location:
       -o, --output-file=FILE
	      write output to specified file

       The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified or if it is -.

   Message selection:
       -<, --less-than=NUMBER
	      print messages with less than this many definitions, defaults to infinite if not set

       ->, --more-than=NUMBER
	      print messages with more than this many definitions, defaults to 0 if not set

       -u, --unique
	      shorthand for --less-than=2, requests that only unique messages be printed

   Output details:
       -t, --to-code=NAME
	      encoding for output

       --use-first
	      use first available translation for each message, don't merge several translations

       -e, --no-escape
	      do not use C escapes in output (default)

       -E, --escape
	      use C escapes in output, no extended chars

       --force-po
	      write PO file even if empty

       -i, --indent

       --no-location

       -n, --add-location
	      generate '#: filename:line' lines (default)

       --strict
	      write out strict Uniforum conforming .po file

       -w, --width=NUMBER
	      set output page width

       --no-wrap

       -s, --sort-output
	      generate sorted output

       -F, --sort-by-file
	      sort output by file location

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

       -V, --version
