Summary: Typo in xargs arguments Project: findutils Submitted by: ahmad_elkomey Submitted on: Wed 17 Oct 2018 08:35:19 PM UTC Category: documentation Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.5.11 Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I was reading the documentation of find here <https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Controlling-Parallelism> and came across the following two lines: find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 makeallsizes find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 -P 2 makeallsizes I think this *-1* (hyphen one) should be *-l* (hyphen lowercase L). I can't find any explanation of an argument that's -1 (hyphen one); that's why I'm guessing it should be -l (hyphen lowercase L). Assuming that I'm correct, why do we need the -l here? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54859> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
