     --help or -h
	    show usage instructions

     --interactive or -i
	    interactive  mode,	iterate  though the inconsistencies using a text
	    mode interface; see the Interactive Mode section

     --equivalent=file or -e file
	    load a file with a list of equivalent msgstr for a given msgid;  can
	    be used multiple times

     --only-empty or -o
	    only  report  inconsistencies  with at least one of the translations
	    empty

     --match=string or -m string
	    only report inconsistencies if at least one of  the  files	involved
	    contain the given string

     --strip-chars=chars or -r chars
	    remove  each of the chars from both msgid and msgstr before checking
	    inconsistencies

INTERACTIVE MODE
     In interactive mode you iterate through each of the inconsistencies  found.
     In  each  prompt you can press Enter to ignore this inconsistency, a number
     of a possible translation (1, 2, ...) to change  all  the	translations  to
     that  text,  0 to input a text to use in all the translations, l to add the
     exception to each of the PO files, or, if you are using at least one equiv-
     alents file, a to add the exception to the first of those files.

PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVES
     POFileConsistency recognizes several PO file header directives. As with all
     gettext lint tools, these directives are all prefixed with X-POFile.

     X-POFile-IgnoreConsistency: msgid
	    remove the given msgid from the list of messages to check

     X-POFile-ConsistencyAlias: string1 string2
	    replace all ocorrences of string1 with string2 before checking  con-
	    sistency

CONSISTENCY EQUIVALENTS FILE FORMAT
     This  files  consists of a series of empty line separated blocks. For exam-
     ple:

     msgid 1
     possible translation 1
     possible translation 2
     possible translation n

     msgid 2
     possible translation 1
     possible translation 2
     possible translation n
