msgcat - combines several message catalogs
msgcat [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]...
Concatenates and merges the specified PO files. Find messages which
are common to two or more of the specified PO files. By using the
--more-than option, greater commonality may be requested before
messages are printed. Conversely, the --less-than option may be used
to specify less commonality before messages are printed (i.e.
--less-than=2 will only print the unique messages). Translations,
comments, extracted comments, and file positions will be cumulated,
except that if --use-first is specified, they will be taken from the
first PO file to define them.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
