.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads space, tab, newline and EOF delimited strings from stdin
|
|
and executes the specified
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
with the strings as
|
|
.Ar arguments .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any arguments specified on the command line are given to the command upon
|
|
each invocation, followed by some number of the arguments read from
|
|
stdin.
|
|
The command is repeatedly executed one or more times until stdin is exhausted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Spaces, tabs and newlines may be embedded in arguments using single (`'')
|
|
or double (`"') quotes or backslashes ('\e').
|
|
Single quotes escape all non-single quote characters, excluding newlines, up
|
|
to the matching single quote.
|
|
Double quotes escape all non-double quote characters, excluding newlines, up
|
|
to the matching double quote.
|
|
Any single character, including newlines, may be escaped by a backslash.
