NAME¶

paargs - wrapper for paexec similar to xargs

SYNOPSIS¶

paargs [OPTIONS] <command> <args>

DESCRIPTION¶

paargs is a simple wrapper over paexec that simplifies use of paexec's capalities. The use of paargs is actually very similar to xargs. paargs runs paexec with the following options enabled by default:

• -C -- for specifying command as free arguments,
• -x -- for being xargs-like,
• -l -- 0-based task number is included to the output of paargs, this allows one to reorder the sliced output,
• -e -- for the same purposes as -l,
• -g -- this flag allows analysis of command's exit status,
• -md= -- disables task delimiter for -g mode enabled by default, as a result the whole line given on input is considered as a task.
