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


SYNOPSIS
       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.

       --local

           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
