15.5.2.4 Invoking the `ngettext' program
........................................
ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT
The `ngettext' program displays the native language translation of a
textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number.
*Arguments*
`-d TEXTDOMAIN'
`--domain=TEXTDOMAIN'
Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN. Usually a TEXTDOMAIN
corresponds to a package, a program, or a module of a program.
`-e'
Enable expansion of some escape sequences. This option is for
compatibility with the `gettext' program. The escape sequences
`\a', `\b', `\c', `\f', `\n', `\r', `\t', `\v', `\\', and `\'
followed by one to three octal digits, are interpreted like the
System V `echo' program did.
`-E'
This option is only for compatibility with the `gettext' program.
It has no effect.
`-h'
`--help'
Display this help and exit.
`-V'
`--version'
Output version information and exit.
`TEXTDOMAIN'
Retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN.
`MSGID MSGID-PLURAL'
Translate MSGID (English singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (English plural).
`COUNT'
Choose singular/plural form based on this value.
If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined
from the environment variable `TEXTDOMAIN'. If the message catalog is
not found in the regular directory, another location can be specified
with the environment variable `TEXTDOMAINDIR'.
