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  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

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

       -V, --version
              output version information and exit
