name = "genstrings"
description = "Scans C, Objective-C, C++, Objective-C++, or Swift source files and generates `.strings` localization tables (default `Localizable.strings`, or per-table files driven by NSLocalizedStringFromTable() calls in the source). Always writes — either creates new `.strings` files in the current directory or in -o <outputDir>, or, with -a, appends to existing ones. Reads only the files passed as positional arguments; no network access. Output encoding is UTF-16 (host endian unless -bigEndian/-littleEndian forces it). Ships with Xcode; surface stable since 2019."
