Subject: Possible bug in zargs
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:34:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121027153400.77571174@shorty.local> (raw)

I can't seem to get the -n option in zargs to work right. This looks like a bug
to me, but maybe I'm not using it correctly:

dima@shorty:/tmp$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 1 Oct 27 15:29 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 5 Oct 27 15:29 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 5 Oct 27 15:29 3


dima@shorty:/tmp$ zargs -- * -- ls -l 
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 1 Oct 27 15:29 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 5 Oct 27 15:29 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 dima dima 5 Oct 27 15:29 3

dima@shorty:/tmp$ zargs -- * -- ls   
1  2  3

dima@shorty:/tmp$ zargs -n1 -- * -- ls 
1
2
3

dima@shorty:/tmp$ zargs -n1 -- * -- ls -l
zargs: argument list too long



The "argument list too long" doesn't make sense here.

Thanks
