NAME
     msgcmp - compare message catalog and template

SYNOPSIS
     msgcmp [OPTION] def.po ref.pot

DESCRIPTION
     Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both con-
     tain 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.

     Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for  short
     options too.

  Input file location:
     def.po
          translations

     ref.pot
          references to the sources

     -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
          add DIRECTORY to list for input files search

  Operation modifiers:
     -m, --multi-domain
          apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po

     --use-fuzzy
          consider fuzzy entries

     --use-untranslated
          consider untranslated entries

  Input file syntax:
     -P, --properties-input
          input files are in Java .properties syntax

     --stringtable-input
          input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax

  Informative output:
     -h, --help
          display this help and exit

     -V, --version
          output version information and exit
