NAME
xgettext.pl - Extract gettext strings from source
SYNOPSIS
xgettext.pl [ -u ] [ -o FILE ] [ INPUTFILE... ]
OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Extract translatable strings from given input files.
Currently accepts Perl source files (valid localization function names include maketext, loc, x and _), HTML::Mason templates (<&|/l>...</&> or <&|/loc>...</&>), and Template Toolkit files ([%|l%]...[%END%] or [%|loc%]...[%END%]).
The -o flag specifies a PO file name to be written or incrementally updated; - means writing to STDOUT. If not specified, messages.po is used.
The -u flag disables conversion from Maketext format to Gettext format -- i.e. it leaves all brackets alone. This is useful if you are also using the Gettext syntax in your program.
