msgexec - process translations of message catalog
SYNOPSIS
msgexec [OPTION] COMMAND [COMMAND-OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Applies a command to all translations of a translation cata-
log. The COMMAND can be any program that reads a transla-
tion 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.
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
