Is `xargs -t` output stderr or stdout, and can you control it?
- by Roy Rico
say i have a directory with hi.txt and blah.txt and i execute the following command on a linux-ish command line
ls *.* | xargs -t -i{} echo {}
the output you will see is
echo blah.txt
blah.txt
echo hi.txt
hi.txt
i'd like to redirect the stderr output (say 'echo blah.txt' fails...), leaving only the output from the xargs -t command written to std out, but it looks as if it's stderr as well.
ls *.* | xargs -t -i{} echo {} 2> /dev/null
Is there a way to control it, to make it output to stdout?
