Benefit of moreutils parallel over xargs -P? #1

It seems like the functionality provided by moreutils is equivalent to what you can get with xargs -P -I, with the major difference between the two being whether replace args are passed as arguments (as in moreutils) or via stdinput (as in xargs).

This is just a fork.

The original moreutils is located at: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/moreutils/

For many years I use GNU parallel instead of moreutils parallel, which supports more options than you ever wished: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/
