PO4A-DISPLAY-MAN(1)

💅 PO4A-DISPLAY-MAN — the po4a-display-man manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so. This is the man page for po4a-display-man, part of the Po4a Tools girlies. Sit down, hydrate, let's go. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

po4a-display-man — display a translated man page according to a PO

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

po4a-display-man -p PO_FILE [-m MASTER_FILE] [-o PO4A_OPT]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: translators (that's you, queen 👑) can use po4a-display-man to see how their translation of a man page is actually gonna render for the end users. No recompiling. No reinstalling the whole entire project. Just vibes, and results. 💖

Heads up though!! This script only works with man pages written directly in nroff and handled by po4a's man module. Manual pages generated from other formats, like DocBook or POD, are not supported. Sorry bestie, it's just not her era.

Need the POD equivalent? Go check out po4a-display-pod(1), she does the same thing but for POD documents. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -p *PO_FILE** — the PO file holding all your translations. The main character, honestly. 🌟
• -m *MASTER_FILE** — the original man page. And she's flexible, ok?! She can be:
  • the absolute or relative path to the original man page (gzipped or not 💀 yes, gzipped is fine),
  • the name of the man page, or
  • the name and section of the man page (using the man.section format).

When the master document isn't handed over via the -m option, po4a-display-man tries to find the original man page based on the line reference of the first string in the PO. Detective mode activated 🔍✨

• -o *PO4A_OPT** — some options to pass along to po4a-translate(1). Little gift, little handoff, we love to see it. 🎁
