Years & years ago, right after I learned about "xargs", I got burned several times on "find | xargs grep pat" when the file list was long enough that "xargs" fired up more than one "grep"... and the last invocation was given only one arg!! IT FOUND THE PATTERN, BUT DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT !@^%!$@#@! FILE IT WAS IN!! :-{The trailing "/dev/null" fixes that. ;-}
I find that I need periodic review of the grep -l -L -h and -H options . I'm surprised when other people forget about these too. The -H option is your heart's desire.
