Example of xargs' -x option in action
- by Ole Tange
GNU xargs has option '-x'. The man page says:
-x Exit if the size (see the -s option) is exceeded.
But xargs seems to not care if -x is set or not. I have been unable to make an example in which the -x has any effect at all.
Please provide two examples in which the only difference is an added -x and that produce different output.
