- This manual page documents the GNU version of xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss. xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss
- reads arguments from the standard input, delimited by blanks
- (which can be protected with double or single quotes or a
- backslash) or newlines, and executes the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d (default is
- /bin/echo) one or more times with any _i_n_i_t_i_a_l-_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s
- followed by arguments read from standard input. Blank lines
- on the standard input are ignored.
-
- xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss exits with the following status:
- 0 if it succeeds
- 123 if any invocation of the command exited with status 1-125
- 124 if the command exited with status 255
- 125 if the command is killed by a signal
- 126 if the command cannot be run
- 127 if the command is not found
- 1 if some other error occurred.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- --_n_u_l_l, -_0
- Input filenames are terminated by a null character
- instead of by whitespace, and the quotes and backslash
- are not special (every character is taken literally).
- Disables the end of file string, which is treated like
- any other argument. Useful when arguments might
- contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes. The
- GNU find -print0 option produces input suitable for
- this mode.
-
- --_e_o_f[=_e_o_f-_s_t_r], -_e[_e_o_f-_s_t_r]
- Set the end of file string to _e_o_f-_s_t_r. If the end of
- file string occurs as a line of input, the rest of the
- input is ignored. If _e_o_f-_s_t_r is omitted, there is no
- end of file string. If this option is not given, the
- end of file string defaults to "_".
-
- --_h_e_l_p
- Print a summary of the options to xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss and exit.
-
- --_r_e_p_l_a_c_e[=_r_e_p_l_a_c_e-_s_t_r], -_i[_r_e_p_l_a_c_e-_s_t_r]

-
- Replace occurences of _r_e_p_l_a_c_e-_s_t_r in the initial
- arguments with names read from standard input. Also,
- unquoted blanks do not terminate arguments. If
- _r_e_p_l_a_c_e-_s_t_r is omitted, it defaults to "{}" (like for
- `find -exec'). Implies -_x and -_l _1.
-
- --_m_a_x-_l_i_n_e_s[=_m_a_x-_l_i_n_e_s], -_l[_m_a_x-_l_i_n_e_s]
- Use at most _m_a_x-_l_i_n_e_s nonblank input lines per command
- line; _m_a_x-_l_i_n_e_s defaults to 1 if omitted. Trailing
- blanks cause an input line to be logically continued on
- the next input line. Implies -_x.
-
- --_m_a_x-_a_r_g_s=_m_a_x-_a_r_g_s, -_n _m_a_x-_a_r_g_s
- Use at most _m_a_x-_a_r_g_s arguments per command line. Fewer
- than _m_a_x-_a_r_g_s arguments will be used if the size (see
- the -s option) is exceeded, unless the -x option is
- given, in which case xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss will exit.
-
- --_i_n_t_e_r_a_c_t_i_v_e, -_p
- Prompt the user about whether to run each command line
- and read a line from the terminal. Only run the
- command line if the response starts with `y' or `Y'.
- Implies -_t.
-
- --_n_o-_r_u_n-_i_f-_e_m_p_t_y, -_r
- If the standard input does not contain any nonblanks,
- do not run the command. Normally, the command is run
- once even if there is no input.
-
- --_m_a_x-_c_h_a_r_s=_m_a_x-_c_h_a_r_s, -_s _m_a_x-_c_h_a_r_s
- Use at most _m_a_x-_c_h_a_r_s characters per command line,
- including the command and initial arguments and the
- terminating nulls at the ends of the argument strings.
- The default is as large as possible, up to 20k
- characters.
-
- --_v_e_r_b_o_s_e, -_t
- Print the command line on the standard error output
- before executing it.
-
- --_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
- Print the version number of xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss and exit.
-
- --_e_x_i_t, -_x
- Exit if the size (see the -_s option) is exceeded.
-
- --_m_a_x-_p_r_o_c_s=_m_a_x-_p_r_o_c_s, -_P _m_a_x-_p_r_o_c_s
- Run up to _m_a_x-_p_r_o_c_s processes at a time; the default is
- 1. If _m_a_x-_p_r_o_c_s is 0, xxxxaaaarrrrggggssss will run as many processes
- as possible at a time. Use the -_n option with -_P;
- otherwise chances are that only one exec will be done.
