NAME

6       msgcmp - compare message catalog and template
7

SYNOPSIS

9       msgcmp [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Compare  two  Uniforum  style  .po files to check that both contain the
13       same set of msgid strings.  The def.po file is an existing PO file with
14       the  translations.   The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a
15       PO Template file (generally created by xgettext).  This is  useful  for
16       checking  that  you have translated each and every message in your pro‐
17       gram.  Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used  to
18       produce better diagnostics.
19
20       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
21       too.
