NAME
    msgexec - process translations of message catalog

SYNOPSIS
    msgexec [OPTION] COMMAND [COMMAND-OPTION]

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.

  Input file location:
    -i, --input=INPUTFILE
    input PO file

    -D, --directory=DIRECTORY
    add DIRECTORY to list for input files search

    If no input file is given or if it is -, standard input is read.

  Informative output:
    -h, --help
    display this help and exit

    -V, --version
    output version information and exit
