# function zargs {
#
# This function works like GNU xargs, except that instead of reading lines
# of arguments from the standard input, it takes them from the command
# line.  This is possible/useful because, especially with recursive glob
# operators, zsh often can construct a command line for a shell function
# that is longer than can be accepted by an external command.
#
# Like xargs, zargs exits with the following status:
#   0 if it succeeds
#   123 if any invocation of the command exited with status 1-125
#   124 if the command exited with status 255
#   125 if the command is killed by a signal
#   126 if the command cannot be run
#   127 if the command is not found
#   1 if some other error occurred.
#
# The full set of GNU xargs options is supported (see help text below);
# although --eof and --max-lines therefore have odd names, they have
# analogous meanings to their xargs counterparts.  Also zargs --help is
# a lot more helpful than xargs --help, at least as of xargs 4.1.
#
# Note that "--" is used both to end the options and to begin the command,
# so to specify some options along with an empty set of input-args, one
# must repeat the "--" as TWO consecutive arguments, e.g.:
#   zargs --verbose -- -- print There are no input-args
# If there is at least one input-arg, the first "--" may be omitted:
#   zargs -p -i one -- print There is just {} input-arg
# Obviously, if there is no command, the second "--" may be omitted:
#   zargs -n2 These words will be echoed in five lines of two
#
# BUGS:
#
# In the interests of expediency, numeric options (max-procs, max-lines,
# etc.) are range-checked only when their values make a difference to the
# end result.  Because of the way zsh handles variables in math context,
# it's possible to pass the name of a variable as the value of a numeric
# option, and the value of that variable becomes the value of the option.
#
# "Killed by a signal" is determined by the usual shell rule that $? is
# the signal number plus 128, so zargs can be fooled by a command that
# explicitly exits with 129+.  Also, zsh prior to 4.1.x returns 1 rather
# than 127 for "command not found" so this function incorrectly returns
# 123 in that case if used with zsh 4.0.x.
#
# With the --max-procs option, zargs may not correctly capture the exit
# status of the backgrounded jobs, because of limitations of the "wait"
# builtin.  If the zsh/parameter module is not available, the status is
# NEVER correctly returned, otherwise the status of the longest-running
# job in each batch is captured.
#
# Also because of "wait" limitations, --max-procs spawns max-procs jobs,
# then waits for all of those, then spawns another batch, etc.
#
# Differences from POSIX xargs:
#
# * POSIX requires a space between -I/-L/-n/-s and their numeric argument;
#   zargs uses zparseopts, which does not require the space.
#
# * POSIX -L and -n are mutually exclusive and effectively synonymous;
#   zargs accepts both and considers -n to be a limit on the total number
#   of arguments per command line, that is, including the initial-args.
#   Thus the following fails with "argument list too long":
#     zargs -n 3 -- echo Here are four words
#   The smallest limit implied by the combination of -L and -n is used.
#
# * POSIX implies the last of -n/-i/-I/-l/-L on the command line is meant
#   to cancel any of those that precede it.  (This is unspecified for
#   -I/-L and implementations reportedly differ.)  In zargs, -i/-I have
#   this behavior, as do -l/-L, but when -i/-I appear anywhere then -l/-L
#   are ignored (forced to 1).

	Usage: zargs [options --] [input-args] [-- command [initial-args]]

	If command and initial-args are omitted, "print -r --" is used.

	Options:
	--eof[=eof-str], -e[eof-str]
	    Change the end-of-input-args string from "--" to eof-str.  If
	    given as --eof=, an empty argument is the end; as --eof or -e,
	    with no (or an empty) eof-str, all arguments are input-args.
	--exit, -x
	    Exit if the size (see --max-chars) is exceeded.
	--help
	    Print this summary and exit.
	--interactive, -p
	    Prompt before executing each command line.
	--max-args=max-args, -n max-args
	    Use at most max-args arguments per command line.
	--max-chars=max-chars, -s max-chars
	    Use at most max-chars characters per command line.
	--max-lines[=max-lines], -l[max-lines]
	    Use at most max-lines of the input-args per command line.
	    This option is misnamed for xargs compatibility.
	--max-procs=max-procs, -P max-procs
	    Run up to max-procs command lines in the background at once.
	--no-run-if-empty, -r
	    Do nothing if there are no input arguments before the eof-str.
	--null, -0
	    Split each input-arg at null bytes, for xargs compatibility.
	--replace[=replace-str], -i[replace-str]
	    Substitute replace-str in the initial-args by each initial-arg.
	    Implies --exit --max-lines=1.
	--verbose, -t
	    Print each command line to stderr before executing it.
	--version
	    Print the version number of zargs and exit.
