However, some systems have limits on the length of commands that can be passed to exec, so that an overflow error will occur after the find command runs for several minutes. The error message is usually "the parameter column is too long" or "parameter column overflow ". This is the use of the xargs command, especially used with the find command. The find command www.2cto.com passes the matching file to the xargs command, and the xargs command only obtains part of the file, not all, unlike the-exec option. In this way, it can first process the first part of the obtained files, then the next batch, and continue like this. In some systems, the-exec option is used to initiate a corresponding process for processing each matching file, rather than executing all the matching files as parameters once; in some cases, there may be too many processes and the system performance may degrade, so the efficiency is not high. The xargs command has only one process. In addition, when using the xargs command, whether to obtain all parameters at a time or obtain parameters in batches, and the number of parameters obtained each time is determined based on the options of the command and the corresponding adjustable parameters in the system kernel. Use instance: instance 1: find every common file in the system, and then use the xargs command to test which file commands they belong to: find. -type f-print | xargs file output: [root @ localhost test] # ll total 312-rw-r -- r -- 1 root 302108 11-03 19 log2012.log-rw-r -- 1 root 0 11-12 log2013.log-rw -r -- 1 root 0 11-12 log2014.logdrwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 10-27 058 scfdrwxrwxrwx 2 root 4096 11-12 19:32 test3drwxrwxrwx 2 root 4096 11-12 :32 test 4 [root @ localhost test] # find. -type f-print | xargs file. /log2014.log: empty. /log2013.log: empty. /log2012.log: ASCII text [root @ localhost test] # instance 2: Find the memory information dump file (core dump) throughout the system, and save the result to/tmp/core. command in log file: find/-name "core"-print | xargs echo "">/tmp/core. log output: [root @ localhost test] # find/-name "core"-print | xargs echo "">/tmp/core. log [root @ localhost test] # cd/tmp [root @ localhost tmp] # l L total 16-rw-r -- r -- 1 root 1524 11-12 core. logdrwx ------ 2 root 4096 11-12 ssh-TzcZDx1766drwx ------ 2 root 4096 11-12 ssh-ykiRPk1815drwx ------ 2 root 4096 11-03 vmware-root instance 3: find all files in the current directory with read, write, and execution permissions, and revoke the corresponding write permission command: find. -perm-7-print | xargs chmod o-w output: [root @ localhost test] # ll total 312-rw-r -- r -- 1 root 302108 11-03 06:19 log2012.log-rw-r -- 1 root Root 0 11-12 log2013.log-rw-r -- 1 root 0 11-12 log2014.logdrwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 10-27 0scfdrwxrwxrwx 2 root 4096 11-12 19:32 test3drwxrwxrwx 2 root 4096 11-12 19:32 test4 [root @ localhost test] # find. -perm-7-print | xargs chmod o-w [root @ localhost test] # ll total 312-rw-r -- r -- 1 root 302108 11-03 19 log2012.log-rw-r -- r -- 1 root 0 11-12 log20 13. log-rw-r -- 1 root 0 11-12 log2014.logdrwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 10-27 058 scfdrwxrwxr-x 2 root 4096 11-12 test3drwxrwxr-x 2 root 4096 11-12 test4 [root @ localhost test] # description: after the command is executed, the permissions of the scf, test3, and test4 folders change.
