Why the ugly pipe to xargs?

grep -R "RAND_MAX.*=" /usr/include/d/dmd

I knew someone was going to call me on that. :)

I spend some time on Linux, and some on Solaris. While Solaris has
"ggrep" which supports -R, the Solaris "grep" does not. By force of
habit, I spell it "find/grep" to make scripts more portable.

But it's a kludge. Kids, don't try this at home, "grep -R" is
definitely your friend. :)

I hear that "ack" is also nice, though I don't know if it supports D
sources out of the box. (ack: http://betterthangrep.com/)

Best,

You guys should use zsh.

grep "RAND_MAX.*=" /usr/include/d/dmd/**/*
