@subsection Input file location

@table @samp
@item @var{file} @dots{}
Input .mo files.

@end table

If no input @var{file} is given or if it is @samp{-}, standard input is read.

@subsection Input file location in Java mode

@table @samp

@itemx --resource=@var{resource}
@opindex -r@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
@opindex --resource@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}

Specify the locale name, either a language specification of the form @var{ll}
or a combined language and country specification of the form @var{ll_CC}.

@end table

The class name is determined by appending the locale name to the resource name,
separated with an underscore.  The class is located using the @code{CLASSPATH}.

@subsection Input file location in C# mode

@table @samp

@opindex -d@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Specify the base directory for locale dependent @file{.dll} files.

@end table

The @samp{-l} and @samp{-d} options are mandatory.  The @file{.msg} file is
located in a subdirectory of the specified directory whose name depends on the
locale.

@subsection Input file location in Tcl mode

@table @samp
@item -l @var{locale}
@itemx --locale=@var{locale}

Write output to specified file.

@end table

The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified
or if it is @samp{-}.

@subsection Output details

@c --no-escape and --escape omitted on purpose.  They are not useful.

@table @samp
@item --force-po
@opindex --force-po@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Always write an output file even if it contains no message.

@item -i
@itemx --indent
@opindex -i@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
@opindex --indent@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Write the .po file using indented style.

@item --strict
@opindex --strict@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Write out a strict Uniforum conforming PO file.  Note that this
Uniforum format should be avoided because it doesn't support the
GNU extensions.

@item -p
@itemx --properties-output
@opindex -p@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
@opindex --properties-output@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java @code{.properties} syntax.  Note
that this file format doesn't support plural forms and silently drops
obsolete messages.

@item --stringtable-output
@opindex --stringtable-output@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in @code{.strings} syntax.
Note that this file format doesn't support plural forms.

(= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given @var{number}.

@item --no-wrap
@opindex --no-wrap@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
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.

@item -s
@itemx --sort-output
@opindex -s@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
@opindex --sort-output@r{, @code{msgunfmt} option}
@cindex sorting @code{msgunfmt} output
Generate sorted output.  Note that using this option makes it much harder
for the translator to understand each message's context.
