Hello,
The default command for xargs is `echo'. The xargs man page states this in the
first paragraph of the `DESCRIPTION' section. But to find the same piece of
information in the Info documentation for findutils, the user has to navigate
to Top → Actions → Run Commands → Multiple Files! This is hardly where
a naïve user is likely to search for this; a more natural place would be Top
→ Reference → Invoking xargs, or one of its sub-nodes.
Greetings,
T.
