(gettext.info.gz) autopoint Invocation

 
 13.6.3 Invoking the `autopoint' Program
 ---------------------------------------
 
      autopoint [OPTION]...
 
    The `autopoint' program copies standard gettext infrastructure files
 into a source package.  It extracts from a macro call of the form
 `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(VERSION)', found in the package's
 `configure.in' or `configure.ac' file, the gettext version used by the
 package, and copies the infrastructure files belonging to this version
 into the package.
 
 13.6.3.1 Options
 ................
 
 `-f'
 `--force'
      Force overwriting of files that already exist.
 
 `-n'
 `--dry-run'
      Print modifications but don't perform them.  All file copying
      actions that `autopoint' would normally execute are inhibited and
      instead only listed on standard output.
 
 
 13.6.3.2 Informative output
 ...........................
 
 `--help'
      Display this help and exit.
 
 `--version'
      Output version information and exit.
 
 
    `autopoint' supports the GNU `gettext' versions from 0.10.35 to the
 current one, 0.16.1.  In order to apply `autopoint' to a package using
 a `gettext' version newer than 0.16.1, you need to install this same
 version of GNU `gettext' at least.
 
    In packages using GNU `automake', an invocation of `autopoint'
 should be followed by invocations of `aclocal' and then `autoconf' and
 `autoheader'.  The reason is that `autopoint' installs some autoconf
 macro files, which are used by `aclocal' to create `aclocal.m4', and
 the latter is used by `autoconf' to create the package's `configure'
 script and by `autoheader' to create the package's `config.h.in'
 include file template.
 
    The name `autopoint' is an abbreviation of `auto-po-intl-m4'; the
 tool copies or updates mostly files in the `po', `intl', `m4'
 directories.
