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

intltool-extract [options]… SOURCE_FILE

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.

-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.

–type=TYPE

Specify the type of source file. Currently supported types are:
“gettext/glade” (.glade, .glade2)
