We can use ls to see the archive file that is created for us. The tar utility will create an archive file called “page_.” tar -cvzf page_: This is the command xargs is going to feed the file list from find to.xargs -o: The -0 arguments xargs to not treat whitespace as the end of a filename.This means that that filenames with spaces in them will be processed correctly. Directories will not be listed because we’re specifically telling it to look for files only, with -type f. The print0 argument tells find to not treat whitespace as the end of a filename. name “*.page” -type f -print0: The find action will start in the current directory, searching by name for files that match the “*.page” search string. The command is made up of different elements. Unless changed, the Command key can be achieved by pressing the Control or Ctrl key on your keyboard. This means that the command key is mapped to a different key on the Windows keyboard. If you connect a Windows keyboard to a Mac system, the computer does what we call a key substitution. name "*.page" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cvzf page_ There is no command key on the Windows keyboard. We’ll run this command in a directory that has many help system PAGE files in it. This is a long-winded way to go about it, but we could feed the files found by find into xargs, which then pipes them into tar to create an archive file of those files. We can use find with xargs to some action performed on the files that are found. That’s “almost the same” thing, and not “exactly the same” thing because there can be unexpected differences with shell expansions and file name globbing. This achieves almost the same thing as straightforward piping.
To address this shortcoming the xargs command can be used to parcel up piped input and to feed it into other commands as though they were command-line parameters to that command.
