.TH INTLTOOL-UPDATE 8 "2003-08-02" "intltool"
.SH NAME
intltool-update \- updates PO template file and merge translations with it
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI intltool-update " [option]..."
.br
.BI intltool-update " LANGCODE"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B intltool-update
generates new po file templates from source code, and merges existing
translations with these new po templates.
.PP
You must change working directory to the subdirectory containing translations
(usually "\fIpo/\fR") before running \fBintltool-update\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
When executing
.B intltool-update
, only one mode of operation is allowed each time.
.\" -------------------------------------------------------
.SS "Mode of operation"
.\" -------------------------------------------------------
.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-pot\fR" 4
.PD
Generate po template (.pot) only.
.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 4
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-headers\fR" 4
.PD
Executes \fBintltool-extract\fR(8) to extract strings inside XML/INI
style files listed in \fBPOTFILES.in\fR, and writes the extracted
strings into header files, so that the strings can be recognised
by \fBxgettext\fR(1).
.IP "\fB\-m\fR" 4
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-maintain\fR" 4
.PD
Search for left out files, which should have been listed in
.B POTFILES.in
or
.BR POTFILES.skip "."
A list of all these files are written into another file called
"\fBmissing\fR".
.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 4
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-report\fR" 4
.PD
Display a status report for all translations in the software.
.IP "\fB\-d \fILANGCODE\fR" 4

directory is no more limited to "po" or "po-*".
.IP "\fB\-o \fIFILENAME\fR" 4
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-output-file\fR=\fIFILENAME\fR" 4
.PD

option or without any option.
