@example
msgcmp [@var{option}] @var{def}.po @var{ref}.pot
@end example

The @code{msgcmp} program compares two Uniforum style .po files to check that
both contain the same set of msgid strings.  The @var{def}.po file is an
existing PO file with the translations.  The @var{ref}.pot file is the last
created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally created by @code{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.
