I've been quite pleased with an xargs wrapper I wrote that basically
converts newlines to nuls, and then invokes either "xargs" or, if asked
to run multiple threads, "parallel --xargs", passing all the "xargs"
It seems like we have 2 suggestions: parallel in different files and parallel
is large files.
- Parallel in different files is two ways tricky since you need threads and
mutex on the file name stream, and in addition for parallel directories, some
sort of threads and queue to pass the file name
