| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the child process, before executing the command. This is very useful when you do stuff like ``find ... | xargs interactive_application''. Without -o, the application would inherit the pipe as its stdin, and you thus lose any control over it. This flag has been carefully chosen to not conflit with other options of other xargs utilities like GNU xargs. Reviewed by: jmallett Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=112514

* After 3 months...Juli Mallett2002-04-191-5/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merge xargs(1) with that of xMach. Bring in xargs(1) changes to add -L and -I as per the Single Unix Specification version 3. Proper exit status numbers are implemented, and the manual page has been updated to reflect reality. The code has been ANSIfied, and a new file has been added to xargs(1) to do the substring substitution as SUSv3 requires. Traditional behaviour should not be affected, use of -J should be deprecated in favor of the more portable -I (though -J has been left, for now).

* o The -s limit is ARG_MAX - 4K, not ARG_MAX - 2K.Brian Somers2001-04-101-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Mention that the current environment is part of the -s calculation. o Add a BUGS section that warns against executing a program that increases the size of the argument list or the size of the environment. I have wondered for a while what the difference is between get a big list | xargs sudo command which fails and get a big list | sudo xargs command which succeeds. The answer is that in the first case, sudo expands the environment and pushes the amount of data passed into execve over the E2BIG threshold. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=75398
