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  in‐
14       put.   It is invoked once for each translation.  Its output becomes ms‐
15       gexec'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".

23       --newline
24              add newline at the end of input
