# paargs(1)

wrapper for paexec similar to xargs

## NAME

paargs - wrapper for paexec similar to xargs

## SYNOPSIS

**paargs** *\[OPTIONS\]* \<command\> \<args\>

## DESCRIPTION

**paargs** is a simple wrapper over **paexec** that simplifies use of **paexec**'s capalities. The use of **paargs** is actually very similar to **xargs**. **paargs** runs **paexec** with the following options enabled by default:

- •

  *-C* -- for specifying *command* as free arguments,

- •

  *-x* -- for being **xargs**-like,

- •

  *-l* -- 0-based task number is included to the output of **paargs**, this allows one to reorder the sliced output,

- •

  *-e* -- for the same purposes as *-l*,

- •

  *-g* -- this flag allows analysis of *command*'s exit status,

- •

  *-md=* -- disables task delimiter for *-g* mode enabled by default, as a result the whole line given on input is considered as a task.

## OPTIONS
