Usage: xgettext [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]...
Extract translatable strings from given input files.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
Similarly for optional arguments.
Input file location:
INPUTFILE ... input files
-f, --files-from=FILE get list of input files from FILE
-D, --directory=DIRECTORY add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
If input file is -, standard input is read.
Output file location:
-d, --default-domain=NAME use NAME.po for output (instead of messages.po)
-o, --output=FILE write output to specified file
-p, --output-dir=DIR output files will be placed in directory DIR
If output file is -, output is written to standard output.
Choice of input file language:
-L, --language=NAME recognise the specified language
(C, C++, ObjectiveC, PO, Shell, Python, Lisp,
EmacsLisp, librep, Scheme, Smalltalk, Java,
JavaProperties, C#, awk, YCP, Tcl, Perl, PHP,
GCC-source, NXStringTable, RST, Glade)
-C, --c++ shorthand for --language=C++
By default the language is guessed depending on the input file name extension.
Input file interpretation:
--from-code=NAME encoding of input files
(except for Python, Tcl, Glade)
By default the input files are assumed to be in ASCII.
Operation mode:
-j, --join-existing join messages with existing file
-x, --exclude-file=FILE.po entries from FILE.po are not extracted
-cTAG, --add-comments=TAG place comment blocks starting with TAG and
preceding keyword lines in output file
-c, --add-comments place all comment blocks preceding keyword lines
in output file
Language specific options:
-a, --extract-all extract all strings
(only languages C, C++, ObjectiveC, Shell,
Python, Lisp, EmacsLisp, librep, Scheme, Java,
C#, awk, Tcl, Perl, PHP, GCC-source, Glade)
-kWORD, --keyword=WORD look for WORD as an additional keyword
-k, --keyword do not to use default keywords
(only languages C, C++, ObjectiveC, Shell,
Python, Lisp, EmacsLisp, librep, Scheme, Java,
C#, awk, Tcl, Perl, PHP, GCC-source, Glade)
--flag=WORD:ARG:FLAG additional flag for strings inside the argument
number ARG of keyword WORD
(only languages C, C++, ObjectiveC, Shell,
Python, Lisp, EmacsLisp, librep, Scheme, Java,
C#, awk, YCP, Tcl, Perl, PHP, GCC-source)
-T, --trigraphs understand ANSI C trigraphs for input
(only languages C, C++, ObjectiveC)
--qt recognize Qt format strings
(only language C++)
--kde recognize KDE 4 format strings
(only language C++)
--boost recognize Boost format strings
(only language C++)
--debug more detailed formatstring recognition result
Output details:
--color use colors and other text attributes always
--color=WHEN use colors and other text attributes if WHEN.
WHEN may be 'always', 'never', 'auto', or 'html'.
--style=STYLEFILE specify CSS style rule file for --color
-e, --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
-i, --indent write the .po file using indented style
--no-location do not write '#: filename:line' lines
-n, --add-location generate '#: filename:line' lines (default)
--strict write out strict Uniforum conforming .po file
--properties-output write out a Java .properties file
--stringtable-output write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings file
-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
--omit-header don't write header with `msgid ""' entry
--copyright-holder=STRING set copyright holder in output
--foreign-user omit FSF copyright in output for foreign user
--package-name=PACKAGE set package name in output
--package-version=VERSION set package version in output
--msgid-bugs-address=EMAIL@ADDRESS set report address for msgid bugs
-m[STRING], --msgstr-prefix[=STRING] use STRING or "" as prefix for msgstr
values
-M[STRING], --msgstr-suffix[=STRING] use STRING or "" as suffix for msgstr
values
Informative output:
-h, --help display this help and exit
