              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
