Details:
Bug:
To reproduce:
$ mkdir "example 1"
$ mkdir "example 2"
Here "nautilus" is just an example program that does choke on something
provided by spaces:
$ ls --quoting-style=literal | grep example | xargs -t nautilus
nautilus example 1 example 2 examples
$ ls --quoting-style=shell | grep example | xargs -t nautilus
nautilus example 1 example 2 examples
The former option does fail to open with nautilus ("example", "1", and "2" are
opened), while the second properly does open nautilus properly.
Expected:
What I would expect as xargs -t output is the following:
$ ls --quoting-style=literal | grep example | xargs -t nautilus
nautilus example 1 example 2 examples
$ ls --quoting-style=shell | grep example | xargs -t nautilus
nautilus 'example 1' 'example 2' examples
So, I would expect it to have the quotes from the ls --quoting-style=shell |
grep example command
