Problem with "xargs -0"

[Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri]

Hi,

I've found an issue with xargs.

This works as expected:

    $ printf 'hello\nworld\n' | xargs -I arg printf '>%s<\n' "arg"
    >hello<
    >world<

However, when I use nul-termination instead:

    $ printf 'hello\00world\00' | xargs -0 -I arg printf '>%s<\n' "arg"
    >hello world<

This is in contrast to e.g. GNU coreutils:

    $ printf 'hello\00world\00' | gxargs -0 -I arg printf '>%s<\n' "arg"
    >hello<
    >world<


Have I misunderstood how the OpenBSD xargs is supposed to work?

This is on OpenBSD-current (sources from the 15th of Jan, 2017) on
amd64.

Regards,
Kusalananda
