@example
msginit [@var{option}]
@end example

The @code{msginit} program creates a new PO file, initializing the meta
information with values from the user's environment.

@subsection Input file location

@table @samp
@item -i @var{inputfile}
@itemx --input=@var{inputfile}
Input POT file.

@end table

If no @var{inputfile} is given, the current directory is searched for the
POT file.  If it is @samp{-}, standard input is read.

@subsection Output file location

@table @samp
@item -o @var{file}
@itemx --output-file=@var{file}
Write output to specified PO file.

@end table

If no output file is given, it depends on the @samp{--locale} option or the
user's locale setting.  If it is @samp{-}, the results are written to
standard output.

@subsection Output details

@table @samp
@item -l @var{ll_CC}
@itemx --locale=@var{ll_CC}
Set target locale.  @var{ll} should be a language code, and @var{CC} should
be a country code.  The command @samp{locale -a} can be used to output a list
of all installed locales.  The default is the user's locale setting.

@item --no-translator
Declares that the PO file will not have a human translator and is instead
automatically generated.

@item -w @var{number}
@itemx --width=@var{number}
Set the output page width.  Long strings in the output files will be
split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's width
(= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given @var{number}.

@end table
