+Usage: msgmerge [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
+
+Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an
+existing PO file with translations which will be taken over to the newly
+created file as long as they still match; comments will be preserved,
+but extracted comments and file positions will be discarded. The ref.pot
+file is the last created PO file with up-to-date source references but
+old translations, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext);
+any translations or comments in the file will be discarded, however dot
+comments and file positions will be preserved. Where an exact match
+cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better results.
+
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
+
+Input file location:
+ def.po translations referring to old sources
+ ref.pot references to new sources
+ -D, --directory=DIRECTORY add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
+ -C, --compendium=FILE additional library of message translations,
+ may be specified more than once
+
+Operation mode:
+ -U, --update update def.po,
+ do nothing if def.po already up to date
+
+Output file location:
+ -o, --output-file=FILE write output to specified file
+The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified
+or if it is -.
+
+Output file location in update mode:
+The result is written back to def.po.
+ --backup=CONTROL make a backup of def.po
+ --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
+The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
+the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
+ none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given)
+ numbered, t make numbered backups
+ existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
+ simple, never always make simple backups
+The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or the SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX
+environment variable.
+
+Operation modifiers:
+ -m, --multi-domain apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po
+ -N, --no-fuzzy-matching do not use fuzzy matching
+ --previous keep previous msgids of translated messages
+
+Input file syntax:
+ -P, --properties-input input files are in Java .properties syntax
+ --stringtable-input input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings
+ syntax
+
+Output details:
+ --lang=CATALOGNAME set 'Language' field in the header entry
+ --color use colors and other text attributes always
+ --color=WHEN use colors and other text attributes if WHEN.
+ WHEN may be 'always', 'never', 'auto', or 'html'.
+ --style=STYLEFILE specify CSS style rule file for --color
+ -e, --no-escape do not use C escapes in output (default)
+ -E, --escape use C escapes in output, no extended chars
+ --force-po write PO file even if empty
+ -i, --indent indented output style
+ --no-location suppress '#: filename:line' lines
+ --add-location preserve '#: filename:line' lines (default)
+ --strict strict Uniforum output style
+ -p, --properties-output write out a Java .properties file
+ --stringtable-output write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings file
+ -w, --width=NUMBER set output page width
+ --no-wrap do not break long message lines, longer than
+ the output page width, into several lines
+ -s, --sort-output generate sorted output
+ -F, --sort-by-file sort output by file location
+
+Informative output:
+ -h, --help display this help and exit
+ -V, --version output version information and exit
+ -v, --verbose increase verbosity level
+ -q, --quiet, --silent suppress progress indicators
