There is nothing here. What I expected to see/get was: ~~~ $ echo * |
xargs --dry-run gzip -k gzip -k a.txt b.txt $ ls a.txt b.txt ~~~ No
change, just print commands xargs intended to run, but not run them. There is
analogue command in gmake: -n, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon
Print the commands that would be executed, but do not execute them (except
in certain circumstances). That's what I was talking about.
