NAME

       intltool-extract - generate header files which can be read by gettext

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-extract [options]... SOURCE_FILE

DESCRIPTION

       intltool-extract  extracts  strings  in	the  specified XML/INI type SOURCE_FILE and writes them into a C header file. Then xgettext(1) can
       merge these strings inside header file into po template.

       intltool-extract is usually not executed manually, but called from intltool-update(8) instead.

OPTIONS

       --local

       --update
	   Writes  header file into the same directory the source file is in. New file name is the source file name appending ".h" extension. This
