- Usage: msgfmt [OPTION] filename.po ...
- Generate binary message catalog from textual translation description.
- Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
- Similarly for optional arguments.
- Input file location:
- filename.po ... input files
- -D, --directory=DIRECTORY add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
- If input file is -, standard input is read.
- Operation mode:
- -j, --java Java mode: generate a Java ResourceBundle class
- --java2 like --java, and assume Java2 (JDK 1.2 or higher)
- --csharp C# mode: generate a .NET .dll file
- --csharp-resources C# resources mode: generate a .NET .resources file
- --tcl Tcl mode: generate a tcl/msgcat .msg file
- --qt Qt mode: generate a Qt .qm file
- Output file location:
- -o, --output-file=FILE write output to specified file
- --strict enable strict Uniforum mode
- If output file is -, output is written to standard output.
- Output file location in Java mode:
- -r, --resource=RESOURCE resource name
- -l, --locale=LOCALE locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
- -d DIRECTORY base directory of classes directory hierarchy
- The class name is determined by appending the locale name to the resource name,
- separated with an underscore. The -d option is mandatory. The class is
- written under the specified directory.
- Output file location in C# mode:
- -r, --resource=RESOURCE resource name
- -l, --locale=LOCALE locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
- -d DIRECTORY base directory for locale dependent .dll files
- The -l and -d options are mandatory. The .dll file is written in a
- subdirectory of the specified directory whose name depends on the locale.
- Output file location in Tcl mode:
- -l, --locale=LOCALE locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
- -d DIRECTORY base directory of .msg message catalogs
- The -l and -d options are mandatory. The .msg file is written in the
- specified directory.
- Input file syntax:
- -P, --properties-input input files are in Java .properties syntax
- --stringtable-input input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings
- syntax
- Input file interpretation:
- -c, --check perform all the checks implied by
- --check-format, --check-header, --check-domain
- --check-format check language dependent format strings
- --check-header verify presence and contents of the header entry
- --check-domain check for conflicts between domain directives
- and the --output-file option
- -C, --check-compatibility check that GNU msgfmt behaves like X/Open msgfmt
- --check-accelerators[=CHAR] check presence of keyboard accelerators for
- menu items
- -f, --use-fuzzy use fuzzy entries in output
- Output details:
- -a, --alignment=NUMBER align strings to NUMBER bytes (default: 1)
- --no-hash binary file will not include the hash table
- Informative output:
- -h, --help display this help and exit
- -V, --version output version information and exit
- --statistics print statistics about translations
- -v, --verbose increase verbosity level
- Report bugs to <bug-gnu-gettext@gnu.org>.
