msgexec

MSGEXEC(1)								GNU								MSGEXEC(1)

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.

   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
	      display this help and exit

       -V, --version
	      output version information and exit
