Follow-up Comment #6, bug #38356 (project findutils): "grep --line-buffered" doesn't help - the parallel grep processes still write to stdout at the same time. Proper locking is needed. man page patch attached. ___ Reply to this item at:

[bug #38356] xargs -P option creates wrong result

2013-02-23 Thread Dmitry V. Levin
Follow-up Comment #5, bug #38356 (project findutils): Try "grep --line-buffered", it might help avoiding output mangling. I suppose xargs documentation could mention that it is duty of parallelized processes executed by xargs -P to care of potential output mangling. _
