# msguniq

In case you did something to your PO files, that makes them contain duplicate messages, you can use msguniq to unify those duplicates.

    NAME
           msguniq - unify duplicate translations in message catalog

    SYNOPSIS
           msguniq [OPTION] [INPUTFILE]

    DESCRIPTION
           Unifies	duplicate translations in a translation catalog.  Finds dupli-
           cate 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 posi-
           tions will be cumulated.	 When using the	 --unique  option,  duplicates
           are discarded.

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