@@ -14,65 +14,14 @@ Over xargs:
 * Can also take arguments from command-line.
 * No shell involved unless `-s` is used.
 * `{}` replacing possible with multiple arguments.
+* Support for patterns to run different commands depending on the argument.
 
 Over apply:
 * Parallel mode.
 * Sane argument splitting.
 * Can use shell-syntax instead of escape characters.
 
-## Usage:
-
-	xe [-0FLRnv] [-I arg] [-N maxargs] [-j maxjobs] COMMAND...
-	   | -f ARGFILE COMMAND...
-	   | -s SHELLSCRIPT
-	   | -a COMMAND... -- ARGS...
-	   | -A ARGSEP COMMAND... ARGSEP ARGS...
-
-* `-0`: input filenames are separated by NUL bytes (default: newlines).
-* `-F`: fatal: stop after first failing command.
-* `-L`: run the commands with line-buffered output; lines from two jobs
-  will not interleave.
-* `-LL`: prefix each line with the job id in such a manner that the
-  output can be piped to `sort -snk1` to group it by job.
-* `-R`: return with status 122 when no arguments have been passed.
-* `-n`: don't run the commands, just print them.
-* `-v`: print commands to standard error before running them.
-* `-vv`: print job id and exit status for each command.
-* `-I`: replace occurrences of *arg* with the argument(s) (default: `{}`).
-  Use an empty *arg* to disable the replace function.
-* `-N`: pass up to *maxargs* arguments to each COMMAND (default: 1).
-  `-N0` will pass as many arguments as possible.
-* `-j`: run up to *maxjobs* processes concurrently.
-  `-j0` will run as many processes as there are CPU cores running.
-  `-j2x` will run twice as many processes as there are CPU cores running.
-* `COMMAND...`: default operation: each command line argument is
-  passed as-is, `{}` is replaced by the argument (not with `-N` > 1).
-* `-f ARGFILE`: Read arguments from ARGFILE, do not close standard input.
-* `-s SHELLSCRIPT`: The argument `SHELLSCRIPT` is evaluated using `/bin/sh`
-  with the arguments (up to `-N`) passed as `$1`, `$2`, `$3`...
-  (this behaves as if `/bin/sh -c SHELLSCRIPT -` is passed as plain COMMAND).
-* `-a`: take arguments from commandline, starting after the first `--`.
-* `-A`: take arguments from commandline, starting after the first *argsep*.
-
-If no argument is passed, default to "printf %s\n".
-
-The current iteration is passed as `$ITER` to the child process
-(increased on every exec()).
-
-## Return code
-
-Like GNU and OpenBSD xargs:
-
-* 0 on success
-* 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.
-
-Additionally, 122 is returned when `-R` is passed and no
-input/arguments were passed.
