NAME
       msgfilter - edit translations of message catalog

SYNOPSIS
       msgfilter [OPTION] FILTER [FILTER-OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       Applies a filter to all translations of a translation cat-
       alog.

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

   Output file location:
       -o, --output-file=FILE
	      write output to specified file

       The results are written to standard output  if  no  output
       file is specified or if it is -.

       The  FILTER  can	 be  any program that reads a translation

       standard output.
