Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36452 (project findutils): POSIX states that mixing -I and -L is not portable:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/xargs.html You are using a non-portable command line, and so it should come as no surprise that BSD and GNU xargs differ in behavior. That said, you are not the first to request having -I and -L work together, and presumably with semantics similar to BSD, or even at a bare minimum to error out instead of silently changing behavior depending on argument ordering; but no one has bothered to write and submit such a patch. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36452> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
