# msgexec

Runs an external command line tool once for each message in a PO file.

    NAME
           msgexec - process translations of message catalog

    SYNOPSIS
           msgexec [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 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.

       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.

       Informative output:
           -h, --help
    	      display this help and exit

           -V, --version
    	      output version information and exit
