From 1c462d47a0bc92f9f57af223456df53169acf3fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ron Yorston Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 11:01:39 +0000 Subject: xargs: restore correct behaviour of -n option Since commit 1ff7002b1 (xargs: fix handling of quoted arguments, closes 11441) the -n option hasn't worked properly: $ echo 1 2 3 | xargs -n 1 echo 1 2 3 $ Because state is now remembered between calls to process_stdin() it's necessary to update the state before any premature return.
