NAME
       msgfmt - compile message catalog to binary format
SYNOPSIS
       msgfmt [OPTION] filename.po ...
DESCRIPTION
       Generate binary message catalog from textual translation description.
       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.  Similarly for optional arguments.
   Input file location:
       filename.po ...
              input files
       -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
              add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
       If input file is -, standard input is read.
   Operation mode:
       -j, --java
              Java mode: generate a Java ResourceBundle class
       --java2
              like --java, and assume Java2 (JDK 1.2 or higher)
       --csharp
              C# mode: generate a .NET .dll file
       --csharp-resources
              C# resources mode: generate a .NET .resources file
       --tcl  Tcl mode: generate a tcl/msgcat .msg file
       --qt   Qt mode: generate a Qt .qm file
       --desktop
              Desktop Entry mode: generate a .desktop file
       --xml  XML mode: generate XML file
   Output file location:
       -o, --output-file=FILE
              write output to specified file
       --strict
              enable strict Uniforum mode
       If output file is -, output is written to standard output.
   Output file location in Java mode:
       -r, --resource=RESOURCE
              resource name
       -l, --locale=LOCALE
              locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
       --source
              produce a .java file, instead of a .class file
       -d DIRECTORY
              base directory of classes directory hierarchy
       The class name is determined  by  appending  the  locale  name  to  the
       resource  name,  separated with an underscore.  The -d option is manda-
       tory.  The class is written under the specified directory.
   Output file location in C# mode:
       -r, --resource=RESOURCE
              resource name
       -l, --locale=LOCALE
              locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
       -d DIRECTORY
              base directory for locale dependent .dll files
       The -l and -d options are mandatory.  The .dll file  is  written  in  a
       subdirectory  of  the  specified  directory  whose  name depends on the
       locale.
   Output file location in Tcl mode:
       -l, --locale=LOCALE
              locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
       -d DIRECTORY
              base directory of .msg message catalogs
       The -l and -d options are mandatory.  The .msg file is written  in  the
       specified directory.
   Desktop Entry mode options:
       -l, --locale=LOCALE
              locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY
       -o, --output-file=FILE
              write output to specified file
       --template=TEMPLATE
              a .desktop file used as a template
       -d DIRECTORY
              base directory of .po files
       -kWORD, --keyword=WORD
              look for WORD as an additional keyword
       -k, --keyword
              do not to use default keywords
       The  -l, -o, and --template options are mandatory.  If -D is specified,

              --check-header, --check-domain
       --check-format
              check language dependent format strings
       --check-header
              verify presence and contents of the header entry
       --check-domain
              check for conflicts between domain  directives  and  the  --out-
              put-file option
       -C, --check-compatibility
              check that GNU msgfmt behaves like X/Open msgfmt
       --check-accelerators[=CHAR]
              check presence of keyboard accelerators for menu items
       -f, --use-fuzzy
              use fuzzy entries in output
   Output details:
       -a, --alignment=NUMBER
              align strings to NUMBER bytes (default: 1)
       --endianness=BYTEORDER
              write out 32-bit numbers in the given byte order (big or little,
              default depends on platform)
       --no-hash
              binary file will not include the hash table
   Informative output:
       -h, --help
              display this help and exit
