Usage: /usr/bin/msgcmp [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
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
