This is useful for running du --summarize (-s) + when the list of file names is so long that it may exceed a command line + length limitation. In such cases, using xargs is undesirable because + it splits the list into pieces and makes du give a total for each sublist + rather than for the entire list. + `date -d' and `touch -d' now accept integer counts of seconds since 1970 when prefixed by `@'. For example, `@321' represents 1970-01-01 00:05:21 UTC. -- 2.47.2
