🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the whole menu, no skips, fr fr:

• --version — show the program's version number and exit. cute little flex, then she's gone. 👑
• -h/--help — show this help message and exit. the "hey bestie here's what i do" option. 💖
• --manpage — output a manpage based on the help. yes she can generate her own lore. ✨
• --progress — show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe for watching her work. 🌈
• --errorlevel — show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much chaos do you want when things go wrong, bestie? 😭
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot formats. this is where you feed her. 🍓
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not me filtering out the people i don't wanna see 🙈
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in r0 format. the glow-up destination. 💜
• -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in. (yep, that's the whole sentence the original gave us — she left it there, i'm leaving it there. no inventing facts in this house.) 🧚
• -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. lowkey the laziest icon — if the output is fresher than the input, she's not doing the work again. periodt. 💀
• --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). so when the same source text shows up twice she's gotta decide — smoosh 'em together or keep 'em separate with context. default vibe is msgctxt. 🔥

ngl, --duplicates is the one to actually think about, because duplicate source strings are real and picking wrong will absolutely show up later. choose wisely, queen.
