Follow-up Comment #5, bug #30504 (project findutils): That's the nature of the bug/comment.
The -P option by it self is not usable. You don't need to do any work if you don't want to do it. I already have working code as the modification is trivial. I'm simple suggesting that the -P when used in absence of any other argument length directives means to use processes to process the arguments. I don't see the complexity in that argument. As I mentioned before. What other interpretation would you place on the use of a single -P switch with no others? i.e.: xargs -0 -P xxyz You keep speaking about list. what list are you talking about? I looked for a list before posting the bug here and don't recall finding one. bugs-xargs, bugs-findutils, didnt' seem to exist as I recall, but I may have tried some wrong address. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30504> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
