Summary | 0000499: xargs -L says <blank> when it means unescaped <blank> | ||||||
Description |
Clearly when the -L description says: A line is considered to end with the first <newline> unless the last character of the line is a <blank>; a trailing <blank> signals continuation to the next non-empty line, inclusive. it really means an unescaped <blank>, since an escaped <blank> is part of an argument to be passed to the utility and therefore should have no special meaning to xargs. (This was originally raised on the mailing list in Feb 2010 but didn't ever get submitted as a bug.) |
||||||
Desired Action |
Change: ... is a <blank>; a trailing <blank> signals ... to: ... is an unescaped <blank>; a trailing unescaped <blank> signals ... |
