| Dec 14, 2014 at 22:22 | comment | added | syntaxerror | @user unknown Well, I do LOVE this code. It's at least fully POSIX-compliant and will work without any GNU stuff on the machine at all. There are those times when you do need this, especially on servers at work. | |

| Feb 2, 2012 at 23:45 | comment | added | user unknown | With gnu-find and + instead of ";", you can handle multiple arguments at once with find too. And you save the complicated argument passing with -print0. | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 20:08 | comment | added | J. M. Becker | That is exactly why xargs was ever created, to automatically handle huge amounts of arguments on regular commands that had limits. Also to consider, most of the max argument limits, have been vastly improved for the standard GNU utils. You also will see a performance benefit, avoiding all those process forks, which on thousands of files is relevant. | |
