Manual page for GENSTRINGS(1)
genstrings - generate string table from source code
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/genstrings
[
-s routine
] [
-o outputDir
]
file ...
DESCRIPTION
The
genstrings
utility generates a
.strings
file(s) from the C or Objective-C
(.c or .m) source code file(s) given as the
argument(s). A
.strings
file is used for
localizing an application for different
languages, as described under
"Localization" in the
NEXTSTEP Developer's Library.
Source lines containing text of the form
LocalString("key", "value", comment) will
generate an appropriate string table entry on
stdout.
Normally,
stdout
should be directed to a file named
Localizable.strings,
since this is where the NXLocalString
function looks by default for its
string table.
Source lines containing
LocalStringFromTable(Table, "key", "value", comment)
will generate an appropriate string table entry
in a file named
Table.strings.
OPTIONS
- -s routine
-
Substitutes
routine
for LocalString.
For example,
-s MyLocalString
will catch calls
to MyLocalString and MyLocalStringFromTable.
- -o outputDir
-
Specifies what directory the tables should be created in.
