.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.

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".
