## combine commands with *xargs*
|
|
|
|
Some commands (e.g. `chmod`) can't handle input via pipe and require the input as arguments. `xargs` takes the standard input as list of arguments seperated by spaces or newlines and executes the given command with the input parsed to a list of arguments.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
```bash
|
|
find . -type f | xargs chmod 644
|
|
```
