OCAML-XGETTEXT(1)

💅 OCAML-XGETTEXT — bestie, let me put you on ✨

okay so this is the OCAML-XGETTEXT(1) manual page, and ngl it's a short one, but it's still iconic in its own little way 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ocaml-xgettext — the lil program that goes and extracts all your translatable strings out of an OCaml source file 🧚

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ocaml-xgettext [ppx arguments] [filename]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This manual page is here to briefly document ocaml-xgettext. Lowkey humble of it, but okay 💅

So like, ocaml-xgettext is a ppx filter. What it spits out is an OCaml marshalled data structure — and no cap, that thing can only be understood by ocaml-gettext. Nobody else gets the lore. iykyk 🫶

The whole point of this program? It's a backend for OCaml source code string extraction. That's the job. That's the assignment. And she ate. 🔥

⚠️ bestie listen — you should not use it directly. fr fr. It's built to be called by other tooling, not by you at 3am. Hands off, let the backend do backend things 🙈
