msgcat - jpayne@68: combines several message catalogs
jpayne@68: jpayne@68:msgcat jpayne@68: [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]...
jpayne@68: jpayne@68:Concatenates jpayne@68: and merges the specified PO files. Find messages which are jpayne@68: common to two or more of the specified PO files. By using jpayne@68: the --more-than option, greater jpayne@68: commonality may be requested before messages are printed. jpayne@68: Conversely, the --less-than option jpayne@68: may be used to specify less commonality before messages are jpayne@68: printed (i.e. --less-than=2 jpayne@68: will only print the unique messages). Translations, jpayne@68: comments, extracted comments, and file positions will be jpayne@68: cumulated, except that if jpayne@68: --use-first is specified, they will jpayne@68: be taken from the first PO file to define them.
jpayne@68: jpayne@68:Mandatory jpayne@68: arguments to long options are mandatory for short options jpayne@68: too.
