--recstart and --recend are for --pipe. -d (and -0) is for normal use.
OK. I'm not able to make it work :
cat abc0-file | parallel --recend '\0' --pipe cat
ABC$
I feel stupid.
You can, however, combine them:
seq 1000000 | parallel -0 -j3 --block 60k --round-robin --pipe echo
This worker is {}\;wc ::: red green blue
And thus you can also do:
printf '%s\0' red green blue > rgb.null
seq 1000000 | parallel -0 -j3 --block 60k --round-robin --pipe echo
This worker is {}\;wc :::: rgb.null
Those two examples are working fine.
I think you are looking for --recend.
Help me change the documentation, so this would be more clear to you.
Only if I manage to make it work =)
