[<i>OPTION</i>] <i>def.po ref.pot</i></p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Merges two
Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an
existing PO file with translations which will be taken over
to the newly created file as long as they still match;
comments will be preserved, but extracted comments and file
positions will be discarded. The ref.pot file is the last
created PO file with up-to-date source
references but old translations, or a PO Template file
(generally created by xgettext); any translations or
comments in the file will be discarded, however dot comments
and file positions will be preserved. Where an exact match
cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better
results.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Mandatory
arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.</p>
