So I remember: xargs is for those commands that only accept cmd parameters - echo here -, but no std input from commands before - cat can do.

I'm currently learning bash, and I've seen both xargs and the $(*) notation before, but didn't pay much attention to them. Now I know just how important they are, and will definitely look into them. | |
