SYNOPSISmsgexec [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 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 transla-
tion, 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.
