[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR] \fI\,def.po ref.pot\/\fR | |
.SH DESCRIPTION | |
.\" Add any additional description here | |
.PP | |
Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same | |
set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an existing PO file with the | |
translations. The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a PO Template | |
file (generally created by xgettext). This is useful for checking that | |
you have translated each and every message in your program. Where an exact | |
match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better diagnostics. | |
.PP | |
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. | |
