Subject: xargs with zsh function
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 15:12:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eee04aa4-394f-9e4b-1637-538059745b5c@eastlink.ca> (raw)

Can it be done?

     $ ... | xargs my_function

it seems that xargs only likes binary commands.  There was some thought 
on the web that something roughly like:

     $ ... | xargs "zsh -c my_function"

might work but 'zsh -c' seems to be a virginal shell that doesn't know 
my_function exists.  How do we pipe into a function?

     $ func_2 "${(f)$(func_1 *)}"

... works but there's the usual travail getting zsh to break on lines.  
Mind that's always the case so perhaps that's as good as it gets.  But I 
figure that piping should be doable.
