sfeed_update: use xargs -P -0
Some of the options, like -P are as of writing (2023) non-POSIX: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/xargs.html. However many systems support this useful extension for many years now. Some historic context: The xargs -0 option was added on 1996-06-11, about a year after the NetBSD import (over 27 years ago at the time of writing): http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/xargs/xargs.c?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup On OpenBSD the xargs -P option was added on 2003-12-06 by syncing the FreeBSD code: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/xargs/xargs.c?rev=1.14&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Looking at the imported git history log of GNU findutils (which has xargs), the very first commit already had the -0 and -P option on Sun Feb 4 20:35:16 1996 +0000. Tested on many systems, old and new, some notable: - OpenBSD 7.4 - Void Linux - FreeBSD 12 - NetBSD 9.3 - HaikuOS (uses GNU tools). - Slackware 11 - OpenBSD 3.8 - NetBSD 5.1 Some shells: - oksh - bash - dash - zsh During testing there are some incompatibilities found in parsing the fields so the arguments are passed as one argument which is split later on by the child program.
