Details:
Hello,
Since version 4.2.10 xargs accepts -I, however neither manpage nor texinfo
documentation properly refer to it. Attached patch fixes this.
Because POSIX talks about -I (as XSI extension) but not about -i I assume that
-I is now the favored variant.
This was originally reported by Michael Wardle in
