NAME
xgettext.pl - Extract gettext strings from source
SYNOPSIS
xgettext.pl
OPTIONS
Options supported at this moment:
[ B<-u> ] Disables conversion from B<Maketext> format to
B<Gettext> format -- i.e. it leaves all brackets alone.
This is useful if you are also using the B<Gettext> syntax
in your program.
[ B<-o> I<FILE> ] PO file name to be written or incrementally updated
C<-> means writing to F<STDOUT>. If not specified,
F<messages.po> is used.
[ I<INPUTFILE>... ]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%]).
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thanks to Jesse Vincent for contributing to an early version of this utility.
Also to Alain Barbet, who effectively re-wrote the source parser with a flex-like algorithm.
