MSGEXEC(1) | GNU | MSGEXEC(1) |
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.
-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.
-P, --properties-input | input file is in Java .properties syntax |
--stringtable-input | input file is in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax |
-h, --help | display this help and exit |
-V, --version | output version information and exit |
