NAME

-msgfmt - create a message object from a message file -

SYNOPSIS -

-msgfmt [ -v ] [ -o output-file ] ... -

DESCRIPTION

-

-msgfmt creates message -object files from portable object files (filename.po ), without changing -the portable object files.

-The .po file contains messages displayed to -users by system commands or by application programs. .po files can be edited, -and the messages in them can be rewritten in any language supported by -the system.

-The xgettext(1) - command can be used to create .po files from -script or programs.

-msgfmt interprets data as characters according to the -current setting of the LC_CTYPE - locale category. -

Portable Object Files -

-

-Formats for all .po files are the same. Each .po file contains one or -more lines, with each line containing either a comment or a statement. -Comments start the line with a hash mark (#) and end with the newline -character. All comments are ignored. The format of a statement is: -

- -
directive -value
-
-
-

-Each directive starts at the beginning of the line and is separated -from value by white space (such as one or more space or tab characters). -value consists of one or more quoted strings separated by white space. -Use any of the following types of directives:

-

domain domainname
-msgid -message_identifier
-msgstr message_string
-

-The behavior of the domain -directive is affected by the options used. See OPTIONS - for the behavior -when the -o option is specified. If the -o option is not specified, the -behavior of the domain directive is as follows:

- -
-

-The msgid directive specifies the value of a message identifier -associated with the directive that follows it. The message_identifier string -identifies a target string to be used at retrieval time. Each statement -containing a msgid directive must be followed by a statement containing -a msgstr directive.

-The msgstr directive specifies the target string associated -with the message_identifier string declared in the immediately preceding -msgid directive.

-Message strings can contain the escape sequences \n for -newline, \t for tab, \v for vertical tab, \b for backspace, \r for carriage -return, \f for formfeed, \\ for backslash, \" for double quote, \ddd for octal -bit pattern, and \xDD for hexadecimal bit pattern. -

OPTIONS

- -
- -
-v
-
Verbose. - List duplicate message identifiers. Message strings are not redefined. -
- -
-o output-file
-
Specify output file name as output-file. All domain directives -and duplicate msgids in the .po file are ignored.
-
- -

EXAMPLES

-In this example -module1.po and module2.po are portable message objects files.

-

example% -cat module1.po
- # default domain "messages.mo"
- msgid "msg 1"
- msgstr "msg -1 translation"
- #
- domain "help_domain"
- msgid "help 2"
- msgstr "help -2 translation"
- #
- domain "error_domain"
- msgid "error 3"
- msgstr "error -3 translation"
-

- example% cat module2.po
- # default domain "messages.mo" -
- msgid "mesg 4"
- msgstr "mesg 4 translation"
- #
- domain "error_domain" -
- msgid "error 5"
- msgstr "error 5 translation"
- #
- domain "window_domain" -
- msgid "window 6"
- msgstr "window 6 translation"
-

-

-The following command -will produce the output files, messages.mo, help_domain.mo, and error_domain.mo. - -

- -
example% msgfmt module1.po
-
-
-

-The following command will produce the output -files, messages.mo, help_domain.mo, error_domain.mo, and window_domain.mo. - -

- -
example% msgfmt module1.po module2.po
-
-
-

-The following example will produce -the output file hello.mo. -

- -
example% msgfmt -o hello.mo module1.po module2.po -
-
-
-

-Install message object files in /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/ -domain.mo -where locale is the message locale as set by setlocale(3C) -, and domain -is text domain as set by textdomain(). The /usr/lib/locale portion can -optionally be changed by calling bindtextdomain(). See gettext(3C) -. -

ENVIRONMENT -

-See environ(5) - for descriptions of the following environmental variables -that affect the execution of msgfmt: LC_CTYPE - , LC_MESSAGES - , NLSPATH - -. -

ATTRIBUTES

-See attributes(5) - for descriptions of the following attributes: -

- - - - -
ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability SUNWloc
CSI - Enabled

SEE ALSO

-xgettext(1) -, gettext(3C) -, setlocale(3C) -, attributes(5) -, -environ(5) - -

NOTES

-

-Neither msgfmt nor any gettext() routine imposes a limit -on the total length of a message. However, each line in the *.po file is -limited to MAX_INPUT - (512) bytes.

-Installing message catalogs under the -C locale is pointless, since they are ignored for the sake of efficiency. -
