NAME
       gencat - Generate message catalog

SYNOPSIS
       gencat [OPTION...] -o OUTPUT-FILE [INPUT-FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       The gencat program is specified in the X/Open standard and the GNU implementation follows
       this specification and so processes all correctly formed input files. Additionally some
       extension are implemented which help to work in a more reasonable way with the catgets(3)
       functions.

       -H, --header NAME
              Create C header file NAME containing symbol definitions

       --new  Do not use existing catalog, force new output file

       -o, --output NAME
              Write output to file NAME
