With the bb xargs you have to put "" around
the command if you use options.
cat file | xargs echo -n
xargs: invalid option -- n
cat file | xargs "echo -n"
The bb xargs can't handle a file that contains
one of these () <> | & *.
The test_file has this in it.
line_1
line_2
cat test_file | xargs -t
The bb xargs outputs this.
echo line_1 line_2 line_1 line_2
The gnu xargs outputs this.
/bin/echo line_1 line_2
line_1 line_2
