NAME

       intltool-extract - generate header files which can be read by gettext

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-extract [options]... SOURCE_FILE

DESCRIPTION

       intltool-extract  extracts  strings  in  the specified XML/INI type SOURCE_FILE and writes
       them into a C header file. Then xgettext(1) can merge these  strings  inside  header  file
       into po template.

       intltool-extract  is  usually  not  executed  manually, but called from intltool-update(8)
       instead.

OPTIONS

       -l
       --local
           Creates a subdirectory under current working directory (named "tmp/") and writes files
           there. This option can't be used with --update option.

       --update
           Writes header file into the same directory the source file is in. New file name is the
           source file name appending ".h" extension. This option can't be used  with  -l/--local
           option.  Besides, this option is the default option if neither --local nor --update is
           specified.
