msgexec - process translations of message catalog
msgexec [OPTION] COMMAND [COMMAND-OPTION]
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.

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