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.
