<p>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.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>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
<b>−0</b>".</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for
short options too.</p>
