38 * the filename, so xargs doesn't really need to do it again. Supporting
39 * the -t flag =greatly= bloats up the size of this app and the memory it
40 * uses because you have to buffer all the input file strings in memory. If
41 * you really want to see the filenames that xargs will act on, just run it
42 * once with no args and xargs will echo the filename. Simple.
