I hate this mentality because.. what if there is no xargs?
Don't just assume the standard scenario that everyone has this on their machine. Especially if your program is a statically linked "portable" go binary.
- jclulow 5y agoIt's a sad, sad UNIX machine that doesn't even have xargs(1).
- sureglymop 5y agoI dabble in embedded development, mainly as a hobby and I mainly deal with e-book reader devices. Let me tell you this, if a device doesn't need a certain binary or tool, it ideally shouldn't be there. For security reasons etc. And with embedded devices with a specific purpose it's highly likely that there will be very little there. But anyway, I was mainly saying that in principle this should be considered.
