NAME

6       msgexec - process translations of message catalog
7

SYNOPSIS

9       msgexec [OPTION] COMMAND [COMMAND-OPTION]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Applies  a  command  to all translations of a translation catalog.  The
13       COMMAND can be any program  that  reads  a  translation  from  standard
14       input.   It  is  invoked once for each translation.  Its output becomes
15       msgexec's output.  msgexec's return code is  the  maximum  return  code
16       across all invocations.
17
18       A  special builtin command called '0' outputs the translation, followed
19       by a null byte.  The output of "msgexec 0" is  suitable  as  input  for
20       "xargs -0".
21
22       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
23       too.

26       -i, --input=INPUTFILE

30              add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
