This syntax is + unspecified by POSIX. The prior functionality continues to be + available with -perm /numeric_mode. For more details see Savannah + bug #38474. + +2. Some backward-incompatible changes have been made to xargs: + - if the child exits with status 126 or 127, xargs exits with status + 123. + +3. There are also a large number of bugfixes, performance enhancements + and documentation improvements, as detailed below. + +4.
