ZONETAB2POT.PY(1)

💖 NAME 💖

zonetab2pot.py — the little script that turns a timezone list into a PO file template. no cap, that's literally the whole job 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

zonetab2pot.py [timezone-list]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe, bestie: zonetab2pot.py reads the timezone list you hand it on the command-line, and converts that list into a gettext message file — a PO-file — template, stuffed full of the names of the individual timezones. it's giving translator-friendly, honestly 👑

the timezone list you give it should be in the exact same format as the system zone.tab. and if you don't specify a timezone list on the command-line at all? no stress, it just uses /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab for you. she's self-sufficient like that 💅

the brand-new PO-file template gets written to standard output. so pipe it, redirect it, whatever — she's flexible ✨

also fun fact: this utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit. icon behavior fr fr 🌈
