description
Applies a
command to all translations of a translation catalog. The
COMMAND can be any program that reads a translation from
standard input. It is invoked once for each translation. Its
output becomes msgexec’s output. msgexec’s
return code is the maximum return code across all
invocations.
A special
builtin command called ’0’ outputs the
translation, followed by a null byte. The output of
"msgexec 0" is suitable as input for "xargs
-0".
Mandatory
arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
