NAME
     msguniq - unify duplicate translations in message catalog

SYNOPSIS
     msguniq [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]

DESCRIPTION
     Unifies  duplicate  translations  in  a translation catalog.
     Finds duplicate translations of the same message  ID.   Such
     duplicates are invalid input for other programs like msgfmt,
     msgmerge or  msgcat.   By  default,  duplicates  are  merged
     together.  When using the --repeated option, only duplicates
     are output, and all other messages are discarded.   Comments
     and  extracted  comments  will  be cumulated, except that if
     --use-first is specified, they will be taken from the  first
     translation.   File positions will be cumulated.  When using
     the --unique option, duplicates are discarded.

     Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for  short
     options too.

  Input file location:
     INPUTFILE
          input PO file

     -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
          add DIRECTORY to list for input files search

     If  no  input file is given or if it is -, standard input is
     read.

  Output file location:
     -o, --output-file=FILE
          write output to specified file

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

  Message selection:
     -d, --repeated
          print only duplicates

     -u, --unique
          print only unique messages, discard duplicates

  Input file syntax:

          input file is in Java .properties syntax

     --stringtable-input
          input file is in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax
