   xargs.1p    ( 1 )

создавать списки аргументов и вызывать утилиту (construct argument lists and invoke utility)

Описание (Description)

The xargs utility shall construct a command line consisting of
       the utility and argument operands specified followed by as many
       arguments read in sequence from standard input as fit in length
       and number constraints specified by the options. The xargs
       utility shall then invoke the constructed command line and wait
       for its completion. This sequence shall be repeated until one of
       the following occurs:

* An end-of-file condition is detected on standard input.

* An argument consisting of just the logical end-of-file string (see the -E eofstr option) is found on standard input after double-quote processing, <apostrophe> processing, and <backslash>-escape processing (see next paragraph). All arguments up to but not including the argument consisting of just the logical end-of-file string shall be used as arguments in constructed command lines.

* An invocation of a constructed command line returns an exit status of 255.

The application shall ensure that arguments in the standard input are separated by unquoted <blank> characters, unescaped <blank> characters, or <newline> characters. A string of zero or more non-double-quote ('"') characters and non-<newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in double-quotes. A string of zero or more non-<apostrophe> ('\'') characters and non-<newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in <apostrophe> characters. Any unquoted character can be escaped by preceding it with a <backslash>. The utility named by utility shall be executed one or more times until the end-of-file is reached or the logical end-of file string is found. The results are unspecified if the utility named by utility attempts to read from its standard input.

The generated command line length shall be the sum of the size in bytes of the utility name and each argument treated as strings, including a null byte terminator for each of these strings. The xargs utility shall limit the command line length such that when the command line is invoked, the combined argument and environment lists (see the exec family of functions in the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1‐2017) shall not exceed {ARG_MAX}-2048 bytes. Within this constraint, if neither the -n nor the -s option is specified, the default command line length shall be at least {LINE_MAX}.
