@pindex msgcmp
|
|
@cindex @code{msgcmp} program, usage
|
|
@example
|
|
msgcmp [@var{option}] @var{def}.po @var{ref}.pot
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@cindex compare PO files
|
|
The @code{msgcmp} program compares two Uniforum style .po files to check that
|
|
both contain the same set of msgid strings. The @var{def}.po file is an
|
|
existing PO file with the translations. The @var{ref}.pot file is the last
|
|
created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally created by @code{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.
|
