 145 If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is
 146 determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the
 147 message catalog is not found in the regular directory,
 148 another location can be specified with the environment
 149 variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. When used with the <b>-s</b> option
 150 the program behaves like the `echo' command. But it does not
 151 simply copy its arguments to stdout. Instead those messages
 152 found in the selected catalog are translated. Standard
