| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .\" Add any additional description here |
| .PP |
| Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same |
| set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an existing PO file with the |
| translations. The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a PO Template |
| file (generally created by xgettext). This is useful for checking that |
| you have translated each and every message in your program. Where an exact |
| match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better diagnostics. |
| .PP |
| Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. |
