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

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.
