try on your machine
This command is composed of two parts, separated by the pipe operator "|":
- ${arguments_source}: This refers to a source or list of arguments that will be passed as input to the command following the pipe.
- xargs ${command}: xargs is a command that reads data from standard input (in this case, the ${arguments_source}), separates it into discrete arguments, and then executes the specified ${command} with those arguments.
In summary, this command takes the input arguments from ${arguments_source}, through the pipe operator "|", and uses xargs to pass those arguments as input to ${command}. The output of ${command} will be displayed on the console.
