            "content": "autopoint [OPTION]...\n\nThe 'autopoint' program copies standard gettext infrastructure files\ninto a source package.  It extracts from a macro call of the form\n'AMGNUGETTEXTVERSION(VERSION)', found in the package's 'configure.in'\nor 'configure.ac' file, the gettext version used by the package, and\ncopies the infrastructure files belonging to this version into the\npackage.\n\nTo extract the latest available infrastructure which satisfies a\nversion requirement, then you can use the form\n'AMGNUGETTEXTREQUIREVERSION(VERSION)' instead.  For example, if\ngettext 0.21 is installed on your system and '0.19.1' is requested, then\nthe infrastructure files of version 0.21 will be copied into a source\npackage.\n\n13.6.4.1 Options\n................\n\n'-f'\n'--force'\nForce overwriting of files that already exist.\n\n'-n'\n'--dry-run'\nPrint modifications but don't perform them.  All file copying\nactions that 'autopoint' would normally execute are inhibited and\ninstead only listed on standard output.\n\n13.6.4.2 Informative output\n...........................\n\n'--help'\nDisplay this help and exit.\n\n'--version'\nOutput version information and exit.\n\n'autopoint' supports the GNU 'gettext' versions from 0.10.35 to the\ncurrent one, 0.21.  In order to apply 'autopoint' to a package using a\n'gettext' version newer than 0.21, you need to install this same version\nof GNU 'gettext' at least.\n\nIn packages using GNU 'automake', an invocation of 'autopoint' should\nbe followed by invocations of 'aclocal' and then 'autoconf' and\n'autoheader'.  The reason is that 'autopoint' installs some autoconf\nmacro files, which are used by 'aclocal' to create 'aclocal.m4', and the\nlatter is used by 'autoconf' to create the package's 'configure' script\nand by 'autoheader' to create the package's 'config.h.in' include file\ntemplate.\n\nThe name 'autopoint' is an abbreviation of 'auto-po-intl-m4'; in\nearlier versions, the tool copied or updated mostly files in the 'po',\n'intl', 'm4' directories.\n",
