po2tiki(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to po2tiki 💅 — this is the glow-up machine that converts Gettext PO files into TikiWiki's language.php files. that's literally the whole vibe. PO in, TikiWiki out, periodt. 🎀

(this little icon is part of the Translate Toolkit fam, manual page for po2tiki(1), in case you were wondering 👑)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

po2tiki [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-S|--timestamp]

like, that's the whole incantation 🪄 — copy it, respect it, don't touch the flags, she's sensitive.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the manpage is very chill about this and just points you at the docs, and honestly? valid. it says:

See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/tiki2po.html for examples and usage instructions.

that's the link for examples and usage instructions, bestie — go read it, it's giving "the actual lore" 🔥 (yes the page is called tiki2po even though this tool is po2tiki, that's just how it is, no cap 🙈)

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay this is the part where we go option by option, and there are no skips, we're doing all of them, main character energy only 👑

• --version — show the program's version number and then dip. that's it, that's the whole flag ✨
• -h/--help — show this help message and exit. your classic bestie who tells you what's up 🫶
• --manpage — output a manpage based on the help. meta af, love that for us 💅
• --progress — show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe — tiny dots, absolutely nothing, a whole bar, names, or full verbose chaos 🌈
• --errorlevel — show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. same deal, choose your drama level 💀
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot formats. this is where you feed her 🍓
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not today, specific files, not today 🙅‍♀️
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in tiki format. the final form, iconic 🎀
• -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp. she's lazy in the smartest way possible, ngl ⭐

heads up bestie: -i/--input wants po or pot files, and -o/--output writes tiki format — don't mix those up or it's gonna be a whole thing 😭

ok so that's the page!! big love to the Translate Toolkit, this bad boy is version 3.12.1, and the manual page itself is dated the same 3.12.1 energy — signed, sealed, delivered, slay 💜🧚‍♀️
