Usage: /usr/bin/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".
Command input:
--newline add newline at the end of input
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.
Input file syntax:
-P, --properties-input input file is in Java .properties syntax
--stringtable-input input file is in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax
Informative output:
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
