![]() ![]() It will, for better or worse, do exactly what you tell it to do, so make sure you really know what you're asking. One can get around this particular problem by using the -0 option of xargs: echo /Library/Application\ Support | tr '\n' '\0' | /usr/bin/xargs -0 lsīut remember folks, Unix gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. ![]() Don't put a wood chipper in your living room, in place of a wastebasket, either.Īnd for the record, xargs does choke on spaces: $ echo "/Library/Application Support" | xargs lsls: /Library/Application: No such file or directoryls: Support: No such file or directory$ But please, I beseech you, don't ever pipe a list of files that you haven't personally carefully inspected, into something like sudo xargs rm.
