NAME

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

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.
Specify the type of source file. Currently supported types are:
"gettext/glade" (.glade, .glade2)
"gettext/gsettings" (.gschema.xml)
"gettext/ini" (Generic INI file)

"gettext/rfc822deb" (RFC 822 format file)
