What the heck are they using xargs for?

You know how to connect two tools via stdin and stdout? Great!

  • But how about the commands that don’t read from it’s input-datastream?
  • How to interconnect commands together, that naturally won’t fit?

This is, where xargs comes into play.

And because I know your time is precious - I’ve created this really short video-training … only 7:32 min :-)

In this video you will also discover …

  • the one big philosophy you can expect from most linux-tools

  • which commands can be interconnected directly

  • and the only two parameters you need for controlling the behavior of xargs most of the time.

So sit back, watch and enjoy …
