cd /usr/ports
echo */*/Makefile* | xargs grep xxx
That's amazing.
It would never have occurred to me that "echo */*/Makefile*" works when
"grep xxx */*/Makefile*". Is that because "echo" is a builtin command
in csh (which is what I use)? I notice "/bin/echo */*/Makefile*"
doesn't work.
Is this documented somewhere?
