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

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.

-i, --input=INPUTFILE

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