 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.


 OPTIONS
      -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)
          "gettext/gsettings" (.gschema.xml)
          "gettext/ini" (Generic INI file)
          "gettext/keys" (.keys)
          "gettext/rfc822deb" (RFC 822 format file)
          "gettext/quoted" (all strings within "")
          "gettext/schemas" (.schemas)
          "gettext/scheme" (.scm)
          "gettext/xml" (Generic XML file)

      --version
          Show version information.

      -h
