NAME

6       msguniq - unify duplicate translations in message catalog
7

SYNOPSIS

9       msguniq [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Unifies  duplicate translations in a translation catalog.  Finds dupli‐
13       cate translations of the same message ID.  Such duplicates are  invalid
14       input  for other programs like msgfmt, msgmerge or msgcat.  By default,
15       duplicates are merged together.  When using the --repeated option, only
16       duplicates  are output, and all other messages are discarded.  Comments
17       and extracted comments will be cumulated, except that if --use-first is
18       specified,  they  will be taken from the first translation.  File posi‐
19       tions will be cumulated.  When using the  --unique  option,  duplicates
20       are discarded.
21
22       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
23       too.
