xe is a tool for constructing command lines from file listings or
|
|
arguments, which includes the best features of xargs(1) and apply(1).
|
|
|
|
Benefits over xargs:
|
|
- Sane defaults (behaves like xargs -d'\n' -I{} -n1 -r).
|
|
- No weird parsing, arguments are separated linewise or by NUL byte.
|
|
- Can also take arguments from command-line.
|
|
- No shell involved unless -s is used.
|
|
- {} replacing possible with multiple arguments.
