Details:
Hello,
this is http://bugs.debian.org/319085 reported by Glenn Ammons:
---------------------
xargs exits with the wrong status when the command exits with status 1:
% false; echo $?
1
% echo foo | xargs -t false; echo $?
false foo
0
The exit status ought to be 123, according to the man page:
xargs exits with the following status:
0 if it succeeds
123 if any invocation of the command exited with status 1-125
---------------------
I've verifioed that this applies to 4.2.22 and current CVS, 4.120 worked as
documented.
thanks, cu andreas
