💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕ every single time a test fails, pofilter makes a snippet file. no cap. those snippets are like little screenshots of the problem — you can look at them 👀, fix them up ✍️, and then merge them back into the originals using pomerge. it's giving "cleanup era." 🧹✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out. bye bestie 👋
  • -h/--help — prints this help message and exits. the classic "help me help you" moment 🫶
  • --manpage — spits out a manpage based on the help output. meta, honestly 💫
  • --progress — how do you want your progress shown? your choices are: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic 🎀
  • --errorlevel — how do you want your errors shown? your choices are: none, message, exception, traceback. choose your level of drama 💀
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot, tmx, xlf, xliff formats. that's the source material, bestie 📥
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not everything deserves an invite to the party 🙅‍♀️
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot, tmx, xlf, xliff formats. this is where the receipts go 🧾✨
  • -l/--listfilters — lists the filters that are available. window shopping, but for checks 🛍️
  • --review — include units marked for review. this one is the default, so it's already the main character 🌟
  • --noreview — exclude units marked for review. ghosting them, respectfully 👻
  • --fuzzy — include units marked fuzzy. also the default 🐻 (fuzzy wuzzy bear, iconic)
  • --nofuzzy — exclude units marked fuzzy. fuzzy units, you are NOT coming 🚫
  • --nonotes — don't add notes about the errors. just the drama, no commentary 🙈
  • --autocorrect — where possible, output automatic corrections instead of describing the issues. she doesn't just point, she fixes 💅✨
