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 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  pro-
       gram.   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

       -N, --no-fuzzy-matching
	      do not use fuzzy matching

       --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
