(gettext.info.gz) msginit Invocation

 
 6.1 Invoking the `msginit' Program
 ==================================
 
      msginit [OPTION]
 
    The `msginit' program creates a new PO file, initializing the meta
 information with values from the user's environment.
 
 6.1.1 Input file location
 -------------------------
 
 `-i INPUTFILE'
 `--input=INPUTFILE'
      Input POT file.
 
 
    If no INPUTFILE is given, the current directory is searched for the
 POT file.  If it is `-', standard input is read.
 
 6.1.2 Output file location
 --------------------------
 
 `-o FILE'
 `--output-file=FILE'
      Write output to specified PO file.
 
 
    If no output file is given, it depends on the `--locale' option or
 the user's locale setting.  If it is `-', the results are written to
 standard output.
 
 6.1.3 Input file syntax
 -----------------------
 
 `-P'
 `--properties-input'
      Assume the input file is a Java ResourceBundle in Java
      `.properties' syntax, not in PO file syntax.
 
 `--stringtable-input'
      Assume the input file is a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource
      file in `.strings' syntax, not in PO file syntax.
 
 
 6.1.4 Output details
 --------------------
 
 `-l LL_CC'
 `--locale=LL_CC'
      Set target locale.  LL should be a language code, and CC should be
      a country code.  The command `locale -a' can be used to output a
      list of all installed locales.  The default is the user's locale
      setting.
 
 `--no-translator'
      Declares that the PO file will not have a human translator and is
      instead automatically generated.
 
 `-p'
 `--properties-output'
      Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java `.properties' syntax.  Note
      that this file format doesn't support plural forms and silently
      drops obsolete messages.
 
 `--stringtable-output'
      Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in `.strings'
      syntax.  Note that this file format doesn't support plural forms.
 
 `-w NUMBER'
 `--width=NUMBER'
      Set the output page width.  Long strings in the output files will
      be split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's
      width (= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given
      NUMBER.
 
 `--no-wrap'
      Do not break long message lines.  Message lines whose width
      exceeds the output page width will not be split into several
      lines.  Only file reference lines which are wider than the output
      page width will be split.
 
 
 6.1.5 Informative output
 ------------------------
 
 `-h'
 `--help'
      Display this help and exit.
 
 `-V'
 `--version'
      Output version information and exit.
