XGETTEXTDBI(1p)

🌸 xgettextdbi β€” NAME πŸ’…

okay bestie, listen up: xgettextdbi is the little cutie (a 1p manpage, perl vibes only) that fetches values for translation from a database. that's it, that's the whole gig. she's here, she's grabbing strings, she's serving πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

    % xgettextdbi [OPTIONS]

    INPUT OPTIONS:
    --dsn      the database DSN
    --username your username
    --password your password
    --query    the SQL query to select the column you would like translated

    OUTPUT OPTIONS:
    -d, --default-domain Use $NAME.po for output, instead of messages.po
    -o, --output         PO file name to be written or incrementally
                         updated (use "-" for STDOUT)
    -p, --output-dir     Output files will be placed in this directory

so like, run it, hand it some OPTIONS, and let her cook πŸ“ here's the breakdown, no gatekeeping:

🫢 INPUT OPTIONS

  • --dsn β€” the database DSN. this is how she finds your database, like a little address card πŸŽ€
  • --username β€” your username. yes, yours, bestie πŸ”‘
  • --password β€” your password. keep it secret, keep it safe πŸ™ˆ
  • --query β€” the SQL query to select the column you would like translated. you tell her what to grab, she grabs it πŸ‘‘

πŸ’… OUTPUT OPTIONS

  • -d, --default-domain β€” use $NAME.po for output, instead of messages.po. name her whatever you want, she's not picky ✨
  • -o, --output β€” PO file name to be written or incrementally updated (use "-" for STDOUT). she can write to a file or straight to STDOUT, main character flexibility fr fr πŸ’–
  • -p, --output-dir β€” output files will be placed in this directory. she stays organised, unlike my notes app 😭

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Grabs values from a database;

that's literally the whole description, she said "I contain multitudes and also one semicolon" πŸ’€ iconic honestly. the way that this is a one-line banger and still ate? periodt.
