COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       --help or -h
              show usage instructions

       --interactive or -i
              interactive  mode,  iterate  though  the  inconsistencies  using  a  text  mode interface; see the
              Interactive Mode section

       --equivalent=file or -e file
              load a file with a list of equivalent msgstr for a given msgid; can be used multiple times

       --only-empty or -o
              only report inconsistencies with at least one of the translations empty

       --match=string or -m string
              only report inconsistencies if at least one of the files involved contain the given string

       --strip-chars=chars or -r chars
              remove each of the chars from both msgid and msgstr before checking inconsistencies

INTERACTIVE MODE

       In interactive mode you iterate through each of the inconsistencies found. In each prompt you  can  press
       Enter  to  ignore  this  inconsistency,  a number of a possible translation (1, 2, ...) to change all the
       translations to that text, 0 to input a text to use in all the translations, l to add  the  exception  to
       each  of  the PO files, or, if you are using at least one equivalents file, a to add the exception to the
       first of those files.

PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVES

       POFileConsistency recognizes several PO file header directives. As with all  gettext  lint  tools,  these
       directives are all prefixed with X-POFile.

       X-POFile-IgnoreConsistency: msgid
              remove the given msgid from the list of messages to check

       X-POFile-ConsistencyAlias: string1 string2
              replace all ocorrences of string1 with string2 before checking consistency

CONSISTENCY EQUIVALENTS FILE FORMAT

       This files consists of a series of empty line separated blocks. For example:

       msgid 1
       possible translation 1
       possible translation 2
       possible translation n

       msgid 2
       possible translation 1
       possible translation 2
       possible translation n
