Locale::Po4a::Common(3User Contributed Perl DocumentatiLocale::Po4a::Common(3)NAMELocale::Po4a::Common - common parts of the po4a scripts and utils
DESCRIPTIONLocale::Po4a::Common contains common parts of the po4a scripts and some
useful functions used along the other modules.
In order to use Locale::Po4a programatically, one may want to disable
the use of Text::WrapI18N, by writing e.g.
use Locale::Po4a::Commonqw(nowrapi18n);
use Locale::Po4a::Text;
instead of:
use Locale::Po4a::Text;
Ordering is important here: as most Locale::Po4a modules themselves
load Locale::Po4a::Common, the first time this module is loaded
determines whether Text::WrapI18N is used.
FUNCTIONS
Showing output messages
· show_version($)
Shows the current version of the script, and a short copyright
message. It takes the name of the script as an argument.
· wrap_msg($@)
This function displays a message the same way than sprintf() does,
but wraps the result so that they look nice on the terminal.
· wrap_mod($$@)
This function works like wrap_msg(), but it takes a module name as
the first argument, and leaves a space at the left of the message.
· wrap_ref_mod($$$@)
This function works like wrap_msg(), but it takes a file:line
reference as the first argument, a module name as the second one,
and leaves a space at the left of the message.
Wrappers for other modules
· Locale::Gettext
When the Locale::Gettext module cannot be loaded, this module
provide dummy (empty) implementation of the following functions. In
that case, po4a messages won't get translated but the program will
continue to work.
If Locale::gettext is present, this wrapper also calls
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "") so callers don't depend on the POSIX
module either.
· bindtextdomain($$)
· textdomain($)
· gettext($)
· dgettext($$)
