xgettext.pl - Extract translatable strings from source xgettext.pl [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]... This program extracts translatable strings from given input files, or from STDIN if none are given. Please see Locale::Maketext::Extract for a list of supported input file formats. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. Similarly for optional arguments.

Input file location:
Files to extract messages from. If not specified, STDIN is assumed. Get list of input files from FILE. Add DIRECTORY to list for input files search.

Output file location:
Use NAME.po for output, instead of "messages.po". PO file name to be written or incrementally updated; "-" means writing to STDOUT. Output files will be placed in directory DIR.

Output details:
Disables conversion from Maketext format to Gettext format -- i.e. leave all brackets alone. This is useful if you are also using the Gettext syntax in your program. Enables GNU gettext interoperability by printing "#, perl-maketext-format" before each entry that has "%" variables.
