| .PP |
| 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. |
| .PP |
| 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 \fB\-0\fR". |
