msgfilter

MSGFILTER(1)								GNU							      MSGFILTER(1)

NAME

       msgfilter - edit translations of message catalog

SYNOPSIS

       msgfilter [OPTION] FILTER [FILTER-OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       Applies a filter to all translations of a translation catalog.

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

   Input file location:
       -i, --input=INPUTFILE
	      input PO file

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

       If no input file is given or if it 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 -.

       The FILTER can be any program that reads a translation from standard input and writes a modified translation to standard output.

   Useful FILTER-OPTIONs when the FILTER is 'sed':
       -e, --expression=SCRIPT
	      add SCRIPT to the commands to be executed

       -f, --file=SCRIPTFILE
	      add the contents of SCRIPTFILE to the commands to be executed

       -n, --quiet, --silent
	      suppress automatic printing of pattern space

   Output details:
       --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

       --indent
	      indented output style

       --keep-header
	      keep header entry unmodified, don't filter it

       --no-location
	      suppress '#: filename:line' lines

       --add-location
	      preserve '#: filename:line' lines (default)

       --strict
	      strict Uniforum output style

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

       --no-wrap
	      do not break long message lines, longer than the output page width, into several lines

       -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
	      output version information and exit
