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 translation, followed by a null byte. The output of
"msgexec 0" is suitable as input for "xargs -0".
