Interface XargsOptions

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<XargsOption>, OptionSet<XargsOption>

All Known Implementing Classes:

XargsOption, XargsOptions.Default, XargsOptionSet_rtxz

public interface XargsOptions
extends OptionSet<XargsOption>

Interface implemented by all option sets for the xargs command. It is recommended to use Xargs.Options to specify a valid combination of options.

The options for the xargs command are:

	-z		--delimiter0		Input items are terminated by a null character instead of by whitespace, and the quotes and backslash are not special (every character is taken literally). Disables the end of file string, which is treated like any other argument. Useful when input items might contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes. The find --print0 option produces input suitable for this mode. (This option is ignored if an explicit delimiter operand is specified).
	-x		--exactArgs		Terminate immediately if maxArgs is specified but the found number of variable items is less than maxArgs. (This option is ignored if no maxArgs operand is specified).
	-r		--noRunIfEmpty		If the standard input does not contain any nonblanks, do not run the command. Normally, the command is run once even if there is no input.
	-t		--verbose		Print the command line on the standard error output before executing it.

This interface serves as an alias for the extended interface to simplify the command signature methods by avoiding generic parameters.
