Description

xe is a tool for constructing command lines from file listings or
arguments, which includes the best features of xargs(1) and apply(1).

Benefits over xargs:

  • Sane defaults (behaves like xargs -d'\n' -I{} -n1 -r).
  • No weird parsing, arguments are separated linewise or by NUL byte.
  • Can also take arguments from command-line.
  • No shell involved unless -s is used.
  • {} replacing possible with multiple arguments.
