jpayne@68: .PP
jpayne@68: Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same
jpayne@68: set of msgid strings.  The def.po file is an existing PO file with the
jpayne@68: translations.  The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a PO Template
jpayne@68: file (generally created by xgettext).  This is useful for checking that
jpayne@68: you have translated each and every message in your program.  Where an exact
jpayne@68: match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better diagnostics.
jpayne@68: .PP
jpayne@68: Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
