You have a complicated xargs! Look, mine from FreeBSD, only offers: DIAGNOSTICS The xargs utility exits with a value of 0 if no error occurs. =20 If utility cannot be found, xargs exits with a value of 127, otherwise if =20 utility cannot be executed, xargs exits with a value of 126. If any =20 other error occurs, xargs exits with a value of 1. -- Greetings Pete Engineer: a mechanism for converting caffeine into designs
