61
62
63 retrieve translated message corresponding to ''MSGID''
64 from ''TEXTDOMAIN''
65
66
67 If the ''TEXTDOMAIN'' parameter is not given, the domain
68 is determined from the environment variable
69 ''TEXTDOMAIN''. If the message catalog is not found in
70 the regular directory, another location can be specified
71 with the environment variable
72 ''TEXTDOMAINDIR''.
73
74
75 When used with the __-s__ option the program behaves like
76 the __echo__ command. But it does not simply copy its
77 arguments to stdout. Instead those messages found in the
78 selected catalog are translated.

105 The full documentation for __gettext__ is maintained as a
106 Texinfo manual. If the __info__ and __gettext__
107 programs are properly installed at your site, the command
108 __info gettext__ should give you access to the complete
109 manual.
110
111
112 On Debian, the manual is also available in HTML format in
113 the gettext-doc package.
