SYNOPSIS

xgettext.pl [ -o FILE ] [ INPUTFILE... ]

OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

Extract translatable strings from given input files.

Currently accepts Perl source files (valid localization function names include maketext, loc, x and _), HTML::Mason templates (<&|/l>...</&> or <&|/loc>...</&>), and Template Toolkit files ([%|l%]...[%END%] or [%|loc%]...[%END%]).

The -o flag specifies a PO file name to be written or incrementally updated; - means writing to STDOUT. If not specified, messages.po is used.
