NAME
       msgfmt - compile message catalog to binary format

SYNOPSIS
       msgfmt [OPTION] filename.po ...

DESCRIPTION
       Generate binary message catalog from textual translation description.

       Mandatory  arguments  to	 long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.  Similarly for optional arguments.

   Input file location:
       filename.po ...
	      input files

       -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
	      add DIRECTORY to list for input files search

       If input file is -, standard input is read.

   Operation mode:
       -j, --java
	      Java mode: generate a Java ResourceBundle class

       --java2
	      like --java, and assume Java2 (JDK 1.2 or higher)

       --csharp
	      C# mode: generate a .NET .dll file

       --csharp-resources
	      C# resources mode: generate a .NET .resources file

       --tcl  Tcl mode: generate a tcl/msgcat .msg file

       --qt   Qt mode: generate a Qt .qm file

   Output file location:
       -o, --output-file=FILE
	      write output to specified file

       --strict
	      enable strict Uniforum mode

       If output file is -, output is written to standard output.

   Output file location in Java mode:
       -r, --resource=RESOURCE
	      resource name

       -l, --locale=LOCALE
	      locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY

       -d DIRECTORY
	      base directory of classes directory hierarchy

       The class name is determined  by	 appending  the	 locale	 name  to  the
       resource	 name,	separated with an underscore.  The -d option is manda‐
       tory.  The class is written under the specified directory.

   Output file location in C# mode:
       -r, --resource=RESOURCE
	      resource name

       -l, --locale=LOCALE
	      locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY

       -d DIRECTORY
	      base directory for locale dependent .dll files

       The -l and -d options are mandatory.  The .dll file  is	written	 in  a
       subdirectory  of	 the  specified	 directory  whose  name depends on the
       locale.

   Output file location in Tcl mode:
       -l, --locale=LOCALE
	      locale name, either language or language_COUNTRY

       -d DIRECTORY

       -c, --check

	      --check-header, --check-domain

       --check-format

       --check-header
	      verify presence and contents of the header entry

       --check-domain
	      check for conflicts between domain  directives  and  the	--out‐
	      put-file option

       -C, --check-compatibility
	      check that GNU msgfmt behaves like X/Open msgfmt

       --check-accelerators[=CHAR]
	      check presence of keyboard accelerators for menu items

       -f, --use-fuzzy
	      use fuzzy entries in output

   Output details:
       -a, --alignment=NUMBER
	      align strings to NUMBER bytes (default: 1)

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

       -V, --version
