- -n
- suppress trailing newline
- -V, --version

- [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID
- retrieve translated message correspondingto MSGID from TEXTDOMAIN
If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from theenvironment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the message catalog is not found in theregular directory, another location can be specified with the environmentvariable TEXTDOMAINDIR.When used with the -s option the program behaves like the `echo' command.But it does not simply copy its arguments to stdout. Instead those messagesfound in the selected catalog are translated.Standard search directory: /usr/share/locale
