💖 NAME 💖

rmsgcat — concatenates and merges PO files, bestie 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rmsgcat [OPTIONS] PO_FILE1 PO_FILE2 ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so like, rmsgcat concatenates and merges PO files. That's the whole vibe. You hand it a bunch of PO files, it smooshes them together into one glorious merged PO file. It's giving ✨glow-up✨ for your translation catalogues.

🎀 Specific options 🎀

These are the little knobs and switches you get to play with, iykyk:

  • -o, --output=FILE — Write the output to the file you specify. No -o? Then it just yeets everything to the standard output (default: the standard output) 💅
  • --sort-by-msgid — Sort the output by msgid. Alphabetical queen behaviour 👑
  • --sort-by-location — Sort the output by location. Organized and cute 📍
  • --sort-by-file — Sort the output by location. Yeah, it's literally the same as --sort-by-location, just chillin' there for GNU gettext's msgcat compatibility 🦋
  • --[no-]sort-output — Sort the output by msgid. Same as --sort-by-msgid, again just for GNU gettext's msgcat compatibility. Legacy support stays winning fr fr
  • --no-location — Remove location information. Bye bye location notes, we don't know her 💀
  • --no-all-comments — Remove all comments. Every single one. Not a crumb left 🍓
  • --width=WIDTH — Set the output page width. Default is 78, as is tradition 📏
  • --[no-]wrap — Break long message lines — the ones longer than the output page width — into several lines. Default: true, so yeah, it wraps by default 🌈
  • --no-fuzzy — Ignore fuzzy entries. Fuzzy ones, we do not see you 🙈
  • --no-report-warning — Don't report warning messages. Ignorance is bliss, no cap 😌
  • --no-obsolete-entries — Don't output obsolete entries. Old and busted? Not on this output's watch ✨
  • --remove-header-field=FIELD — Remove FIELD from the header. You can specify this option multiple times to remove multiple header fields — stack 'em up like little bracelets 💜
