Xargs Change Parameter Position

Jun 14, 2019

Default position is at the end (last parameter)

find . -name '*.png' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -i echo {} "Found"
Hello ./2.png
Hello ./3.png
Hello ./1.png
Hello ./4.png

Change to first parameter

find . -name '*.png' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -i echo {} "Found"
./2.png Found
./3.png Found
./1.png Found
./4.png Found
