NAME
       po4a-updatepo - update the translation (in PO format) of documentation

SYNOPSIS
       po4a-updatepo -f <fmt> (-m <master.doc>)+ (-p <XX.po>)+

       (XX.po are the outputs, all others are inputs)

DESCRIPTION
       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

       The "po4a-updatepo" script is in charge of updating PO files to make
       them reflect the changes made to the original documentation file. For
       that, it converts the documentation file to a POT file, and call
       msgmerge(1) on this new POT and on the provided PO files.

       It is possible to give more than one PO file (if you want to update
       several languages at once), and several documentation files (if you
       want to store the translations of several documents in the same PO
       file).

       If the master document has non-ASCII characters, it will convert the PO
       files to UTF-8 (if they weren't already), in order to allow non-
       standard characters in a culture independent way.

OPTIONS
       -f, --format
	   Format of the documentation you want to handle. Use the
	   --help-format option to see the list of available formats.

       -m, --master
	   File(s) containing the master document to translate.

       -M, --master-charset
	   Charset of the files containing the document to translate. Note
	   that all files must have the same charset.

       -p, --po
	   PO file(s) to update. If these files do not exist, they are created
	   by "po4a-updatepo".

       -o, --option
	   Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin and other po4a
	   internal module.  Specify each option in the 'name=value' format.
	   See the documentation of each plugin for more information about the
	   valid options and their meanings.

       --no-previous
	   This option removes '--previous' from the options passed to
	   msgmerge.  This permits to support versions of gettext earlier than
	   0.16.

       --previous
	   This option adds '--previous' to the options passed to msgmerge.
	   It requires gettext 0.16 or later, and is activated by default.

       --msgmerge-opt options
	   Extra options for msgmerge.

       -h, --help
	   Show a short help message.

       --help-format
	   List the documentation format handled by po4a.

       -V, --version
	   Display the version of the script and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	   Increase the verbosity of the program.

       -d, --debug
	   Output some debugging information.

       --msgid-bugs-address email@address
	   Set the report address for msgid bugs. By default, the created POT
	   files have no Report-Msgid-Bugs-To fields.

       --copyright-holder string
	   Set the copyright holder in the POT header. The default value is
	   "Free Software Foundation, Inc."

       --package-name string
	   Set the package name for the POT header. The default is "PACKAGE".

       --package-version string
	   Set the package version for the POT header. The default is
	   "VERSION".
