 10.2 Invoking the `msgunfmt' Program
 ====================================
 
      msgunfmt [OPTION] [FILE]...
 
    The `msgunfmt' program converts a binary message catalog to a
 Uniforum style .po file.
 
 10.2.1 Operation mode
 ---------------------
 
 `-j'
 `--java'
      Java mode: input is a Java `ResourceBundle' class.
 
 `--csharp'
      C# mode: input is a .NET .dll file containing a subclass of
      `GettextResourceSet'.
 
 `--csharp-resources'
      C# resources mode: input is a .NET `.resources' file.
 
 `--tcl'
      Tcl mode: input is a tcl/msgcat `.msg' file.
 
 
 10.2.2 Input file location
 --------------------------
 
 `FILE ...'
      Input .mo files.
 
 
    If no input FILE is given or if it is `-', standard input is read.
 
 10.2.3 Input file location in Java mode
 ---------------------------------------
 
 `-r RESOURCE'
 `--resource=RESOURCE'
      Specify the resource name.
 
 `-l LOCALE'
 `--locale=LOCALE'
      Specify the locale name, either a language specification of the
      form LL or a combined language and country specification of the
      form LL_CC.
 
 
    The class name is determined by appending the locale name to the
 resource name, separated with an underscore.  The class is located
 using the `CLASSPATH'.
 
 10.2.4 Input file location in C# mode
 -------------------------------------
 
 `-r RESOURCE'
 `--resource=RESOURCE'
      Specify the resource name.
 
 `-l LOCALE'
 `--locale=LOCALE'
      Specify the locale name, either a language specification of the
      form LL or a combined language and country specification of the
      form LL_CC.
 
 `-d DIRECTORY'
      Specify the base directory for locale dependent `.dll' files.
 
 
    The `-l' and `-d' options are mandatory.  The `.msg' file is located
 in a subdirectory of the specified directory whose name depends on the
 locale.
 
 10.2.5 Input file location in Tcl mode
 --------------------------------------
 
 `-l LOCALE'
 `--locale=LOCALE'
      Specify the locale name, either a language specification of the
      form LL or a combined language and country specification of the
      form LL_CC.
 
 `-d DIRECTORY'
      Specify the base directory of `.msg' message catalogs.
 
 
    The `-l' and `-d' options are mandatory.  The `.msg' file is located
 in the specified directory.
 
 10.2.6 Output file location
 ---------------------------
 
 `-o FILE'
 `--output-file=FILE'
      Write output to specified file.
 
 
    The results are written to standard output if no output file is
 specified or if it is `-'.
 
 10.2.7 Output details
 ---------------------
 
 `--force-po'
      Always write an output file even if it contains no message.
 
 `-i'
 `--indent'
      Write the .po file using indented style.
 
 `--strict'
      Write out a strict Uniforum conforming PO file.  Note that this
      Uniforum format should be avoided because it doesn't support the
      GNU extensions.
 
 `-p'
 `--properties-output'
      Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java `.properties' syntax.  Note
      that this file format doesn't support plural forms and silently
      drops obsolete messages.
 
 `--stringtable-output'
      Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in `.strings'
      syntax.  Note that this file format doesn't support plural forms.
 
 `-w NUMBER'
 `--width=NUMBER'
      Set the output page width.  Long strings in the output files will
      be split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's
      width (= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given
      NUMBER.
 
 `--no-wrap'
      Do not break long message lines.  Message lines whose width
      exceeds the output page width will not be split into several
      lines.  Only file reference lines which are wider than the output
      page width will be split.
 
 `-s'
 `--sort-output'
      Generate sorted output.  Note that using this option makes it much
      harder for the translator to understand each message's context.
 
 
 10.2.8 Informative output
 -------------------------
 
 `-h'
 `--help'
      Display this help and exit.
 
 `-V'
 `--version'
      Output version information and exit.
 
 `-v'
 `--verbose'
      Increase verbosity level.
