Details:
I was reading the documentation of find here
<https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Controlling-Parallelism>
and came across the following two lines:
find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 makeallsizes
find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 -P 2 makeallsizes
I think this *-1* (hyphen one) should be *-l* (hyphen lowercase L). I can't
find any explanation of an argument that's -1 (hyphen one); that's why I'm
guessing it should be -l (hyphen lowercase L).
Assuming that I'm correct, why do we need the -l here?
