Not sure how, but I had come to the erroneous conclusion that -l was not in SysV, but it was there indeed and in SysIII and in the original xargs implementation in PWB Unix from the late 70s. Not on BSDs. The SysIII man page had: -lnumber Command is executed for each non-empty number lines of arguments from standard input. The last invoca‐ tion of command will be with fewer lines of argu‐ ments if fewer than number remain. A line is con‐ sidered to end with the first new-line unless the last character of the line is a blank or a tab; a trailing blank/tab signals continuation through the next non-empty line. If number is omitted 1 is as‐ sumed. Option -x is forced.
