Taken from xargs man page:




xargs reads items from the standard input ... and executes the command ...
with any initial-arguments followed by items read from standard input




I used bold to emphasize statement significant here



also




-I replace-str



Replace occurrences of replace-str in the initial-arguments with names read >from standard input.




I wonder if stream grabbed from standard input becomes consumed for ever by -I replace operation so its final attaching to command being executed can't have any effect.



Another imagineable approach is to conduct replacement as well as let initial arguments to be followed by items read from standard input.

  • -I implies -n 1. If you use -I you are expected to place the single item read from stdin into the command explicitly. cf. seq 1 3 | xargs -I@ echo hello
