DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of xargs. xargs reads items from the standard input, delimited by blanks (which can be protected
with double or single quotes or a backslash) or newlines, and executes the command (default is /bin/echo) one or more times with any initial-
arguments followed by items read from standard input. Blank lines on the standard input are ignored.
Because Unix filenames can contain blanks and newlines, this default behaviour is often problematic; filenames containing blanks and/or new-
lines are incorrectly processed by xargs. In these situations it is better to use the '-0' option, which prevents such problems. When using
this option you will need to ensure that the program which produces the input for xargs also uses a null character as a separator. If that
program is GNU find for example, the '-print0' option does this for you.
If any invocation of the command exits with a status of 255, xargs will stop immediately without reading any further input. An error message
is issued on stderr when this happens. 作者: Shell_HAT 时间: 2013-06-04 15:46 http://bbs.chinaunix.net/thread-4083205-1-1.html作者: blackold 时间: 2013-06-05 09:05
就 X arguments 的意思,挺形象的。
