Sure your right what I showed wasn't a 1 to 1 functional replacement,
but then again most times I see ppl using a ls | syntax they actually
don't intend that functionality, its a side effect of them not knowing
how to use a better syntax.
The example is bad anyway as you normally don't want to parallelize disk
io , due to seek overhead and io bottle neck congestion. This example
will be slower and more likely to damage your disk than simply using mv
on its own. but thats another discussion.with regards to nit picking, considering how much effort is made on this mailing list and help-bash to give filename safe examples, its hardly nitpicking to expect the examples in the bash manual to be written to the same standard.
