;''--eof[[=eof-str], -e[[eof-str]'': Set the end of file string to ''eof-str''. If the end of file string occurs as a line of input, the rest of the input is ignored. If ''eof-str'' is omitted, there is no end of file string. If this option is not given, the end of file string defaults to ''
;''--help'': Print a summary of the options to __xargs__ and exit.
-;''--replace[[=replace-str], -i[[replace-str]'': Replace occurences of ''replace-str'' in the initial arguments with names read from standard input. Also, unquoted blanks do not terminate arguments. If ''replace-str'' is omitted, it defaults to ''-x'' and ''-l 1''.
+;''--replace[[=replace-str], -i[[replace-str]'': Replace occurences of ''replace-str'' in the initial arguments with names read from standard input. Also, unquoted blanks do not terminate arguments. If ''replace-str'' is omitted, it defaults to ''{}'', like ''find -exec''. Implies
''-x'' and ''-l 1''.
;''--max-lines[[=max-lines], -l[[max-lines]'': Use at most ''max-lines'' nonblank input lines per command line; ''max-lines'' defaults to 1 if omitted. Trailing blanks cause an input line to be logically continued on the next input line. Implies ''-x''.
;''--max-args=max-args, -n max-args'': Use at most ''max-args'' arguments per command line. Fewer than ''max-args'' arguments will be used if the size (see the -s option) is exceeded, unless the -x option is given, in which case __xargs__ will exit.
