Pass PO file through msgfilter(1) [hook factory].

Wrappers modify PO files in place; the executed command is:

   msgfilter <options> -i <filepath> -o <filepath> <filtr>

where options parameter may be used to pass any extra options to msgfilter. Both filtr and options are lists of command line arguments rather than monolithic strings, to avoid shell quoting problems. For example, to rewrap the PO file at 70 columns:

   msgfilter(["cat"], ["-w", "70"])

or to replace every foo with bar in translation:

   msgfilter(["sed", "s/foo/bar/g"])

Parameters:

• filtr ([string*]) - filter to use
• options ([string*]) - additional options to pass to msgfilter

Returns: (filepath) -> numerr
