When I run this:
seq 3 | parallel --results a echo
parallel writes me a directory tree like this:
[uckelman@scylla tmp]$ tree a
a
└── 1
├── 1
│ ├── seq
│ ├── stderr
│ └── stdout
├── 2
│ ├── seq
│ ├── stderr
│ └── stdout
└── 3
├── seq
├── stderr
└── stdout
This looks like what the man page says should happen.
When I run this:
seq 3 | parallel --results b -n0 echo hey
parallel writes me a directory tree like this:
[uckelman@scylla tmp]$ tree b
b
└── 1
└── \\0
├── seq
├── stderr
└── stdout
The output I see on stdout is "hey" three times, so the command echo was
clearly run the number of times it should have been---but a results
directory was created only for the first invocation. Shouldn't there
be three results directories?
This is with version 20160222.
Is this a bug? If not, what am I doing wrong here?
