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