Hello,

Eureka! I scanned the man page again and found a switch "-l" which forces
each input argument to be processed separately. Therefore, it is
xargs -l foo
that is equivalent to
xargs -i foo {}
Now onwards, I will always use "-l" with XArgs.
Be careful. The man page also says:
The -l option is deprecated since the POSIX standard
specifies -L instead.
So it may be better to use
xargs -L 1 foo
